AP Course Packages
We are not currently offering these packages!
The pre-designed AP course packages are presented below. We also hold the view that college bound students may not need to take too many AP courses; the base subjects and two or three more are probably adequate and should assist them in their specific course of study. It is known that several tertiairy institutions limit the amount of AP courses that can be transferred as college credits. To this end, we are offering what we consider are the base courses in three proposed packages. Of course, students may wish to design their own package depending on their academic history and needs. Each package is limited to three AP subjects with the SAT and/or the ACT preparation being additional.

Pre-requisites et al.
*The pre-requisites for these courses are a high school science course (such as biology, chemistry, physics, general science and environmental science), algebra 2 which should include trigonometry and English language Arts/Literacy. Students whose algebra 2 course did not include trigonometry should have taken pre-calculus; otherwise they may experience difficulty in calculus AB in the first year.
**The AP Physics C courses are semester long, with Mechanics taught in the first semester and Electricity & Magnetism taught in the second semester.
Most of the lab based AP Science courses transfer as 4 college credits while the mathematics courses may transfer as 3 or 4 college credits. The PCP package is intended for students who are unsure of exactly what they want to study in college and it includes chemistry, physics and calculus. Students who wish to study medicine /medical sciences may replace the AP calculus BC with AP Biology (when it becomes available) or take it at a later time.
