Courses for AP
Built for Homeschoolers, Guided by a Private Tutor
Advanced Placement (AP) courses offer homeschool students the opportunity to engage in college-level academics, strengthen their transcripts, and potentially earn college credit. Our teacher-guided AP courses are designed specifically for homeschoolers, combining expert instruction with flexible scheduling to support success. These courses can be listed on transcripts as “Courses for AP,” but to receive official AP credit, students must register for and take the AP exam through the College Board at an approved testing site.
