Advanced Placement

Content

Overview

Students may opt to take Advanced Placement (AP) courses through a partner program. Students complete AP courses in a separate learning management system and are supported by our partner staff. AP courses are very rigorous courses that do NOT allow for the personalization & accommodations that we offer in most of our CMASAS courses. AP courses are regulated by the College Board & the material, curriculum, testing, & assessments are very structured. Students who take these courses must be prepared for strict timelines, highly structured lessons & assessments, as well as many additional hours of outside reading & homework.

 

Registration Process

Students wishing to take an AP course are required to go through an application process. Please let your PEC know that you would like to take an AP course. Applications must be completed 2 weeks prior to the end of open enrollment to allow time for review, approval, & processing of the AP Application.

Upon approval, students will receive an email with the Acknowledgement and Acceptance of AP Course Terms for electronic signature. Once the form has been initialed and signed by both the student and parent/guardian, students will receive login credentials and information on any additional required materials.
