High school education forms the basis for further
studies for students who have planned their future, in terms of their academics and career path. Not only
would the concepts learned at this level help during college days, participation in Advanced Program (AP)
would help them earn extra credit as well.
AP is designed to enable high school students to pursue college level studies, even before they join a
college or a university. There are numerous AP courses for students to select from, thereby ensuring
something for every student. The majority of renowned colleges receive annual AP exam scores. This ensures
that they would stand out in the college admission process, if they successfully complete the AP program.
Along with making their entry into a college easy, the AP program also helps in designing the college course,
as per their requirements. By joining the AP program, students get an opportunity to meet and interact with
other students and educators, thereby broadening their horizons.
