Summer Programs

Advanced Placement Institutes

High school teachers of AP* courses at regional sites authorized by the College Board may participate in AP* Institutes anywhere in the United States-in or outside the region in which they teach-to gain the critical information, tools and strategies needed to build and advance successful AP* programs at their schools. Those who choose SCAD have access to the university's outstanding facilities and vibrant learning environment.

AP* Institutes are suitable for both beginning and advanced AP* teachers. Experienced AP* Institutes instructors address the content of recent AP* exams, how these exams are scored and what teachers can do to help their students perform well.
