The Advanced Placement Program
The Advanced Placement Program® is a cooperative educational endeavour between The College Board, secondary schools and universities. Since its inception in 1955, the Program has provided motivated high school students with the opportunity to take post secondary-level courses in a high school setting. Students who participate in the AP Program not only gain post secondary-level skills, but in many cases they also earn post secondary credits while they are still in high school. AP courses are taught by dedicated and enthusiastic high school teachers who follow course guidelines developed and published by the Advanced Placement College Board.
The Program's success is rooted in the collaborative efforts of motivated students, dedicated teachers, and committed schools. By participating in the Program, secondary schools make the commitment to organize and support at least one class that is equivalent to a first-year post secondary university course.
In the Limestone District School Board the following schools offer these courses;
Loyalist Collegiate & Vocational Institute, - Grade 12 University English (Eng4U0), Physics (SPH4U0), Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U0) and French (FSF4U0). All AP courses are preceded in grade 11 with a PRE-A.P. course at LCVI. Please contact Martha Gray at LCVI for more information, (613)-546-5575.
