Program - Advanced Placement (AP)
Advanced Placement (AP) is a program and final placement exam that can be used for college admission. Advanced Placement is suitable for students who are ready for challenging assignments and independent research.
The AP program allows academically successful students to be brought together to teach them a portion of subjects at the university level, which will later serve as the basis for exemption from the entrance exam and introductory coursework in the specified discipline.
AP has been available at the school since 1998. This program was developed by the College Board to enhance learning opportunities in high school. It is a rigorous and academically impeccable national-level program that offers students college-level preparation adapted for entry into one of the institutions of higher learning. Equivalent to a college-level semester.
The teaching staff provides an educational environment that allows students to master the program at an advanced level, ahead of their years. Upon completion, students take exams that combine tests, free responses, and essays and problems.
At NB, Advanced Placement students study:
Geography;
World History, U.S. History;
Basics of U.S. government, law and politics;
Psychology;
Music Theory;
Fine arts (with the formation of a portfolio);
Mathematics and Statistics;
Physics, Biology, Chemistry, and other exact and natural sciences;
Computer Science and Fundamentals of Programming.
The course success check allows educational organizations and students to understand whether students are doing well enough to succeed in an undergraduate program, and having an AP mark on a student's transcript on admission usually provides additional points.
Other important AP values include a strong work ethic, a creative approach to problems, stamina, and stubbornness.
