ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) PARENT INFORMATION NIGHT OCTOBER 21ST 7PM!!! AP tests have potentially saved KM 9-12 students $1.5M in tuition, based on last year's test-takers! Advanced Placement programming is facilitated by The College Board, a non-profit organization that helps high school students succeed academically by providing courses with college-level rigor and the opportunity to earn college credits. KM strongly encourages our students to challenge themselves by taking AP courses and currently offers 21 AP courses with more under consideration. Subject matter includes art, outreach, computer science, English, math, music, science, and social studies. This event is also a great opportunity for 7th and 8th grade families to learn about pre-AP opportunities and begin thinking about preparing students for high school. To learn more, visit our Advanced placement page at https://hs.kmsd.edu/o/kmhs/page/advanced-placement-program.
