Apex Learning honors and AP courses are both designed to provide rigorous and challenging educational opportunities for high school students. The key difference between them is the level of difficulty and the potential for earning college credit:
Honors Courses feature content and course work that is more advanced than standard classes, and they are intended to prepare students for college-level studies.
AP Courses go beyond honors classes by teaching college-level material, and culminate in a standardized exam that students can take to earn college credit.
Whether your child is aiming to boost their GPA, get ahead on college credits or just looking for a more in-depth learning experience, Apex Learning honors and AP courses can help them achieve their goals.
Challenge your student to enhance their skills, and help set them up for success on their path toward graduation and college.
Enhance Your Transcript
AP and honors-level courses can improve the strength of your student's transcript and help their college applications stand out.
Earn College Credit
Your student can earn college credit by completing an AP course and passing the exam—which can lead to early college graduation and lower tuition costs.
