80%

Students will spend most of their self-study time (about 8 hours per week) watching video lectures on the AP Classroom system, taking notes, and completing practice exercises related to the week's material.

20%

Students will spend the remaining 20% of their time attending AP tutoring sessions. During these sessions, teachers will provide assistance with difficult exercises, questions, or areas of knowledge, and review lessons for students. The AP tutoring sessions will be held after regular school hours, and will have a duration of 2 hours per week.

Why choose AP courses

Reduce the number of subjects in college, as well as have more time to study other favorite subjects or graduate earlier.

AP courses are designed at the university level. After completing any AP course, students are equipped with a solid foundation of knowledge to get ready for the university process later.

Completing an AP Exam with high scores helps high schoolers gain admission to competitive colleges or increase their chances of receiving scholarships when applying to top US universities.

Develop critical thinking, analyzing, and evaluating skills that are necessary for university or higher learning level.
