In over 10,000 schools across the country, students are taking Advanced Placement Program® (AP®) classes. AP courses allow your child to take college-level courses while still in high school, and if your child passes the AP Exam, he or she actually receives college credits… which can be a great way for them to save time and money in college. If you haven’t heard about these classes, talk to your child’s school counselor.
