For those who are not familiar with the designation of AP, this refers to Advanced Placement college-level courses we offer students while in high school at International Community School. Students are challenged beyond the standard course expectations and are rewarded for doing so, including an increased Grade Point Average (GPA) and possible transferring of course credit to their future university most anywhere around the world.
From an administrative point of view, AP exam time comes to a pinnacle in the second semester when students pay for exams, exams ordered, proctors scheduled, rooms reserved, supplies gathered, rules reviewed and, of course, exams administered. Needless to say, it is always a relief when I place the completed exams in boxes to ship back to the US and learn that they arrived in good order. Students and teachers then wait for the resultant scores which are available online a couple months later.
