Overview of AP course

Students enrolled in AP will have on-going work taking place both in class and independently. It is important to keep in mind that participating in the advanced placement course will require an additional commitment of time and hard work.

In 2019 the College Board changed the AP course content. For the most up-to-date information, please visit their site:
