INFORMATION AND GUIDELINES

on and Guidelines

The Regional Advanced Placement (AP) Program at St. Edmund Campion provides an enriched classroom setting for highly motivated students in the areas of English, Math, Science, French and

Geography. The program begins in Grade 9 with Pre-AP classes in which students study both the

Ontario and the AP curriculum. Pre-AP courses in grade 9-11 lead to AP classes in Grades 12 that prepare students to write AP exams for advanced placement or credit in university. All strong academic students are encouraged to apply.

The flexibility of the AP Program allows students to select the number of AP classes that suit their learning needs. Students from the Regional AP Program at St. Edmund Campion allows students to choose as few as one AP class, or the full complement of AP courses offered at the school in order to work towards the AP National Scholar designation which is recognized world-wide.

St. Edmund Campion will accept a limited number of students into the Regional AP Program in Grade 9 from across Brampton and Caledon. Admission into the program will be granted based on previous report cards, application form, as well as the student’s desire to commit to the level of study required by the enriched classroom setting.

Future Costs

The College Board charges $120 per AP exam. This amount is payable in the year that the AP exam will be written in grade 12. Students can speak to the AP Coordinator to make alternate financial arrangements, if necessary. There may also be an additional fee for Advanced Placement courses.
