Advanced Placement Program

The Advanced Placement (AP) Program, designed and administered by the College Board (U.S.), allows students to take university-level courses and exams while still in secondary school. Recognized by universities worldwide, AP courses help students develop critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and problem-solving skills—preparing them for college and beyond.

AP Exam

The Advanced Placement (AP) Exam is an internationally recognized assessment tied to 38 university-level courses across seven disciplines. Each course culminates in a rigorous, standardized exam that evaluates students' mastery of college-level material.
