Counseling Office / AP Courses

Advanced Placement courses are college-level courses offered by trained high school teachers in the regular high school setting. Over one-third of the students in Georgia public high schools were enrolled in AP courses. AP courses guarantee rigor in our classrooms. The high school teachers who offer AP courses are trained by The College Board to offer the course at a college-level and have a syllabus approved by The College Board. AP courses are challenging and require significant study time on a daily basis. Assessments in these classes require sophisticated critical thinking skills. In May of each year, AP students take the AP exam(s). Students who score at the 3, 4 or 5 level may be able to earn college credit for these courses taken in the high school. Policies for credit differ from college to college, so take care to check college admissions and credit policies.

Below is a comprehensive list of AP courses offered in Georgia. Courses below in red are ones that we can provide at Impact Academy. With the exception of AP English Language, our students take AP courses through GA Virtual School.
