Advanced Placement (AP) courses will challenge students with college-level material, which provides them with the academic experiences needed to be successful in earning a college degree.  Students will also have the opportunity to prepare and take an AP exam, which could earn them college credit.  In order for students to be academically successful in AP courses, they are required to complete work outside of the classroom experience similar to what is expected of college students taking a similar course.
