Advanced Placement Courses

Implementation

Edgenuity offers select Advanced Placement? (AP?) courses as part of our curriculum suite. While students in AP courses have access to all the features and benefits of any Edgenuity course, there are also key requirements put in place by the College Board that must be followed in order to use the AP designation on student transcripts. The information below will help you implement Edgenuity AP courses in full compliance with the expectations of the College Board.

Do Students Need Textbooks* for AP Courses?

AP programs are rigorous, college-level courses. As such, they require college-level textbooks and supplementary texts and highly qualified teachers. All Edgenuity courses except for Computer Science Principles, English Literature and Composition, French, and Spanish require textbooks. These textbooks should be purchased before students begin the course. Edgenuity does not resell the books, as they are readily available through traditional and online booksellers. Note that U.S. History requires a textbook; however, an open-source option is available for students who prefer a no-cost, online option.

Must Students Complete Hands-On Labs for AP Science courses?

Edgenuity's AP Environmental Science course includes the option for hands-on labs, but schools may elect to offer the course without requiring these activities. The course also includes sufficient virtual labs to meet the College Board requirements. AP Biology requires wet labs; virtual labs are not an acceptable alternative.

Are Edgenuity Courses AP Certified?

Edgenuity's AP courses have been authorized by the College Board. It is the school's responsibility to ensure that the courses have been applied to your school's AP listings.

Can AP courses be customized?

Yes--although if the customizations are significant, teachers must submit a new syllabus to the College Board for review and approval.
