Getting to Know our AP Courses

With great pride we present to you our AP Program from College Board, specially designed for our 12th Grade students. We started this program 4 years ago in our effort to provide students with more opportunities to study abroad or enroll in a national university, which gives college credit. In addition, the AP® Program offers college-level courses to help students prepare for their university experiences. The AP® Program is part of our international education complying with our commitment as members of the Council of International School – CIS.

Starting this year, all the students enrolled in Math and/or Natural Science AP Courses will present the corresponding exam in May 2021.

Why taking an AP course and the exams? 

✔ Taking these courses and exams will let students earn college credits and skip introductory courses in college. 

✔ Taking these courses shows colleges that you have a high demanding curriculum. 

✔ Research consistently shows that AP students are better prepared for college than students who don’t take AP.

 ✔ Taking AP can help students get a taste of college, develop college skills, and discover passions. 

✔ It allows for blended learning because the AP classroom platform will enable students to advance at their own pace and prepare for the exams independently.

✔ In Colombia, Andes, Rosario, Javeriana, CESA, and Sabana Universities accept these courses.
