Mill Creek High School

Why Choose AP?

AP is a rigorous academic program built on the commitment, passion, and hard work of
students and educators from high school and college. The college-level experience benefits
students in several ways:
Favorably impacts college admissions decisions
Shows you are a serious student
85% of selective colleges report the student’s AP experience as a positive factor in
admissions
Offers financial benefits by reducing time spent seeking a degree
Students coming from AP programs are much more likely to graduate from college on time
Builds academic skills and confidence
Learn how to manage your time and study prior to college
Learn flexibility, adaptability, communication, and problem-solving skills
Have the opportunity to explore subjects you find interesting in more depth

Be Invested

All Advanced Placement courses expect the student to do more which requires students to be
invested in the coursework. Time management skills are essential for success. Students should
weigh their other commitments (work, extracurricular activities, clubs, trips, etc.) against
expectations and consider how much more they are willing to do to be successful.

All AP courses are taught and evaluated at the college level. These courses will require 5-10
hours of study per week and the commitment is for the entire school year. AP Exams will be
administered in May with the opportunity to earn college credit. It is the expectation that if you
take the course, you take the AP exam. The AP course of study is based on a national
curriculum.

If you register for an AP class, you are agreeing to our AP contract that is found on page 7 of
this book.
