Advanced Placement College Board Courses
Every school year, Al-Noor School offers various AP courses based on student demand and teacher availability. An AP (Advanced Placement) course is a college-level course that students take in high school and concludes with an AP exam in May. It requires a higher level of commitment to studying and a deeper understanding of the subjects. Typically, 9th and 10th grade students may take 1 AP course in a school year. Juniors and seniors may take more than one. Remember, it's the students' responsibility to balance their course workload with all the other commitments. Here are some benefits of completing an AP course:
Studying a subject in depth could give new insights and even put you on the path to a career
An opportunity to develop college skills, time management, critical thinking, and scholarly writing
An AP score could transfer to college credits and allow you skip courses in college
“AP” on your high school transcript shows colleges you’ve tackled college-level work
