Advanced Placement (AP)
AP courses involve completion of examinations beyond the regular Grade 12 course content and exam, and are set by the College Entrance Board in New Jersey, U.S.A. These courses are designed to provide students with background and knowledge equivalent to a first-year university course. They allow students the opportunity for enriched, intensive study in one or more subjects of interest and strength. AP courses are recognized by many Canadian and International universities as advanced standing for first-year study in specific courses. They are offered in each of the four Community Education Centre areas within York Region. Refer to the chart on the inside cover of this Directory to find the schools where AP courses are offered. Contact Guidance Services in your secondary school for further information. (YRDSB, 2012)
