AP Testing

Overview

The Advanced Placement Program (AP) program is a set of college-level courses taught by Kings high school teachers.  The course content and syllabus are written by the College Board (university professors and AP teachers) to provide the academic rigor and challenge of a freshman college course.  AP Courses are open to all students who have met the course prerequisite and academic guidelines.
