Advanced Placement (AP) programming provides university level curricula and examinations in secondary school. AP exams are created by university educators and expert panels and are accredited by the Advanced Placement College Board.
Why Advanced Placement?
AP accreditation is recognized internationally and many universities grant course credit and advanced standing for students who score well in AP exams. Over 90% of North American universities and over 60 countries outside of North America provide course credit for successful AP results.
