Do you have a passion for history?  Or art?  Or literature?  How about science?  Or world languages?

AACPS offers AP (Advanced Placement) courses in all 13 comprehensive high schools and Chesapeake Science Point Public Charter School. AP allows high school students to experience college-level instruction, and possibly receive college credit by sitting for one or more AP exams in May. If you've never explored AP, talk to your counselor, administrator, and teachers. They can help you decide on the AP course (or courses) that fits you!

AP is challenging - it's hard work - but it's worth it. See what AP has in store for you, and be prepared to amaze yourself!
