The course takes one semester to complete, and works much like a regular class except more in-depth.

Students will take an AP Exam at the end of the semester to determine how much college credit they’ve earned.

How many AP classes should I take?

How does the weighted AP GPA work?

One of the many benefits of taking AP classes is that they count more towards your GPA than standard courses: which means that it is possible for students to achieve a GPA greater than 4.0! Many of our AP students see this as a safety net and a challenge to graduate with a 4.0+ (very impressive to colleges).
