AP (Advanced Placement) is carefully crafted by the College Board in the United States, providing high school students with a platform to get ahead of academic challenges in college. These courses span across multiple subject areas such as art, history, English, world languages, mathematics, and science, encompassing over 38 subjects for students to choose from based on their interests and future academic directions.

The content of AP courses is closely integrated with university courses, helping students gradually adapt to higher-level learning requirements, and evaluated through a scoring system of 1 to 5 points, with grades of 3 or above usually accepted by universities for credit redemption.

AP courses are highly regarded for their wide global recognition, ability to redeem university credits, adherence to strict academic standards, promotion of effective learning outcomes, provision of high flexibility, high recognition from American universities, in-depth course content, improvement of GPA scores, expansion of international perspectives, and enhancement of self-management abilities.

It not only provides students with opportunities to showcase their academic potential and professional expertise, but also helps them succeed in university, adapt to academic challenges ahead of time, and save time and costs.

The rich subject selection of AP courses and their close connection with university majors make them an important choice for high school students to enhance their academic competitiveness and prepare for university studies. Through AP courses, students can access teachers, students, and teaching resources from diverse cultural backgrounds, broaden their international perspectives, and cultivate self-management skills and self-learning habits, laying a solid foundation for future academic exploration and career development.
