Evaluation Policy

The Advanced Placement (AP) Program is an internationally recognized program that fosters success in higher education by encouraging students to develop critical thinking skills at the highest level.

Students pursue university level studies while still in high school by preparing for and writing exams. Successful completion of exams earns students advanced placement and/or credit in university. Exams are recognized by universities throughout Canada, the United States and Europe.

For more information on our Congregated Advanced Placement program please review our guidelines. 

Some of the program benefits for students include:

• Students get a head start on the work they will encounter in university.

• Successful completion of exams earns students advanced placement and/or credit in university.

• Exams are recognized by universities throughout Canada, United States and Europe.

• All universities in Ontario accept Advanced Placement exams.

• Students who use AP exams for credit, save the tuition for that credit and have more time to focus on other courses if they choose.

• AP marks are entered on a separate transcript by the College Board and are only sent to universities at the student’s discretion. Students can choose to forward AP marks for credit, delete AP marks from their transcript or even re-do AP exams if they are still in high school.

• Bishop Allen AP graduates are reporting the benefits of having written AP exams. They are finding university course loads manageable and are happily using their exams for credit.
