Advanced Placement(AP) Courses are designed to provide high school students with more complex and rigorous academic content comparable to the demands of college level course work.  The program also provides the opportunity to earn college credit or its equivalent through the AP testing program.  At the conclusion of each advanced placement study, students are expected to take the corresponding advanced placement examination of the College Entrance Examination Board.  Fees for the examination are the responsibility of each student.  Although not all college and universities grant credit for qualifying grades on advanced placement examinations, over 400 institutions do grant credit.
