The advantages of AP at boarding
Not only does the combination of AP with boarding give you an unfair advantage as you apply for university, there are numerous other benefits to the program. Having AP courses on your high school transcript opens up unique opportunities. Of course,students can apply AP courses to their degree but in an actual example, this can mean something like taking on a double major in university while having the same workload as regular students. The AP program opens this and numerous other possibilities.
The AP program also offers flexibility, so you can select the courses that appeal to you and will help with your development. In this way, you are not necessarily forced into taking courses at a difficulty level you are not comfortable with. Participation in AP courses will inspire you to go higher; students find these challenging and invigorating. Each boarding school has details on its implementation of the program you'll need to think about as you investigate schools.
