A college experience today
In AP courses, just like in college, your child will tackle challenging topics head-on and investigate issues that matter to him or her. AP students get to learn about subjects in-depth, with their AP teachers and classmates there to help.
Save money in college time
Taking AP courses shows college admission officers that your child is willing to take the most advanced courses his or her school has to offer. Scoring well on an AP Exam can also result in credit for or placement out of introductory college courses, potentially saving thousands of dollars in tuition and fees.
Preparation for the future
Encourage your child to visit exploreap.org to learn more about AP courses and hear from AP students. AP students see that although AP classes are tough, by doing college-level work in high school they can test themselves and build confidence in their ability to take on what's next in college.
Your child's counselor and teachers can also help you understand his or her AP options. And if your child is already in an AP class, congratulations. It's a big step toward college success.
