Stony Point High School
Advanced Placement Program (AP)
The Stony Point High School Advanced Placement Program—or AP—is a voluntary program that offers you an opportunity to take one or more college-level courses while still in high school. AP isn’t just for top students or those headed for college. AP offers something for everyone. Students can choose from 37 courses and exams in 22 subject areas, including art, computer science, geography, government and politics, music theory, world languages, and more.
(AP®) courses give you the opportunity to take college-level courses while you’re still in high school. Taking the end-of-course AP Exam sends a powerful message to colleges and universities that you’re ready for them, and can enable you to gain admission, college credit, and placement into advanced courses.
