AP – Advanced Placement

The AP (Advanced Placement) program offers college level courses within high schools across the country. Generally these courses are much more rigorous than the general course offerings, and colleges & universities often exempt students from introductory coursework if they demonstrate mastery through an official AP test.

Official AP course testing is handled by College Board, the same non-profit organization that runs the SAT exam.

LPS offers students a number of AP courses.
