The best path for
Getting your teen into their first choice college
Do your AP courses in an international classroom!
AP courses give your homeschooler a stronger transcript, better acceptance odds, higher chances of scholarships, and a real edge over the competition.
“AP is seen as more rigorous by many colleges because they are assessed by national organizations.”
“Advanced Placement courses can pay off for students by helping them earn merit-based college scholarships… Standardized test scores and high GPAs are common baseline requirements for scholarships, but an applicant who has conquered AP courses often has an edge over others.”
