Exposing a wide range of students to advanced coursework can also help increase college readiness for the entire school or district. All schools offering AP receive free access to AP Classroom, an online platform that provides flexible instructional resources to support student learning. And additional information is available to support you—whether you’re launching, building, or cultivating your AP program.
