The Unmatched Impact of the College Board

College Board has one mission: To clear a path for all students to own their future. This mission drives College Board to continually build upon its legacy, first as the pioneer of programs like the SAT Suite of Assessments and Advanced Placement, now as the innovator behind BigFuture, an online resource that helps students plan for college, pay for college, and explore careers. These research-based programs enable educators to guide their students on the path from high school to college and career.
