Advanced Placement (AP) Courses
The York Region District School Board has
chosen our school to offer the Advanced Placement Program for students who want
to challenge themselves with a more rigorous curriculum. We invite all students who are willing to
accept the challenge of a more demanding academic curriculum to consider
enrolment into AP Physics. Although it
is not a mandatory prerequisite taking grade 11 PRE-AP Physics is highly
recommended for success in grade 12 AP Physics.
The Advanced Placement Program (AP) is an
international course of study written by university professors, which allows
students to write standardized exams around the world. Successful completion of the AP Physics exam
in May can earn credits or advanced standing at universities in Canada and
abroad. The biggest incentive for students
enrolled in the program, is that they will be well prepared to meet the challenge
of university courses.
