AP Program
The Advanced Placement (AP) program underscores our philosophical belief that girls should be encouraged to take self-directed academic risks that challenge their intellect and foster their growth as lifelong learners.
The AP Program is designed for students who are ready to learn and achieve at the university level. In addition to experiencing the challenges of a university-level curriculum, AP inspires confidence, a sense of personal responsibility and self-reliance, and provides an academic bridge to ease the transition from secondary school to university.
