Advanced Placement

Last updated on November 26, 2019

The Advanced Placement (AP) program makes college and university courses available for students to take while they’re still in secondary school.

Courses offered in this program are administered by the College Board which is recognized for advanced credit or placement in many Canadian and American universities and colleges.

AP courses are granted credit through the External Credential program and may be used towards district and provincial scholarships.

Students should check with their school counsellor to learn if AP courses offered in their school district.
