The AP Access team's goal is to extend the growth and reach of the AP Program to serve the middle third of high school students by growing participation, serving more underrepresented students, and supporting teachers and schools to help students succeed. The Instructional Services team within this department is dedicated to bringing innovative approaches to AP teaching and learning to scale that are inspired by and build on the needs, experiences, and insights of our educator and student communities.
We work closely with our colleagues across AP and Instruction and in Communications and Marketing to ensure that we are aligned in all efforts to promote the work of AP Courses and Programs to a wide range of audiences including students, parents, educators, policymakers, the media, member organizations and staff.
The Advanced Placement Program® (AP) enables willing and academically prepared students to pursue college-level studies while still in high school. The program consists of college-level courses developed by the AP Program that high schools can choose to offer, and corresponding exams administered once a year.
