Hello! Unfortunately, my school doesn't offer a huge selection of AP classes, so I've been considering taking some online to expand my options. Do you guys have any recommendations for which online AP courses are worth taking and from which providers? Thanks in advance!
Hello! It's great that you're looking to take additional AP courses outside of what your school offers. Several reputable providers offer online AP classes, and I'll provide a few options for you to look into:
1. The College Board: The organization that designs and administers AP exams also offers a list of authorized online AP courses through their AP Course Ledger. This is a great starting point to find online AP classes since you know they're approved by the College Board.
2. FLVS (Florida Virtual School): FLVS is a well-known provider of online AP courses, available to students both in Florida and outside the state (although non-Florida students pay higher fees). They offer a wide range of AP classes and have experienced teachers.
3. PA Homeschoolers: PA Homeschoolers is another provider that offers multiple AP courses online, designed and taught by experienced AP teachers. While originally aimed at homeschoolers, their courses are open to all students.
4. Apex Learning: Apex offers a broad range of online AP courses. Their curriculum is accredited and designed to focus on both content mastery and skill-building.
5. BYU Independent Study: Offered by Brigham Young University, their Independent Study program provides several AP courses online. They are accessible to all students, and their courses are fully accredited.
Make sure to research each provider and read reviews from students who have taken their courses before. Remember that online AP courses can be challenging and may require a high level of self-discipline and motivation. Good luck, and I hope you find a course that suits your needs!
