Individual courses go into great depth and thoroughly prepare students to take the external AP examination administered by the College Board of the United States. The exams are taken to earn either advanced standing or university credit in the USA, Canada, and many other countries. The program is highly regarded throughout North America and is the most common form of advanced study offered by high schools in the United States. Students applying to competitive schools in the US, Canada, or Australia should consider AP to be a necessary component in preparing for admission.<\/p>\n<p>The Advanced Placement program is designed to give students freedom in choosing courses that maximize their potential in selected subjects. At RAIS students may take up to 10 AP courses.<\/p>\n<h2>AP Course Selection at RAIS<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>AP Biology<\/li>\n<li>AP Statistics<\/li>\n<li>AP Chemistry<\/li>\n<li>AP Calculus AB<\/li>\n<li>AP Physics I: Algebra-Based<\/li>\n<li>AP Macro Economics<\/li>\n<li>AP Computer Science Principles<\/li>\n<li>AP Human Geography<\/li>\n<li>AP Microeconomics<\/li>\n<li>AP Psychology<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>AP English Language and Composition<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>AP Precalculus<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>AP Environmental Science<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>A course may be dropped if insufficient numbers of students register for it.<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"gtx-trans\" style=\"position: absolute; left: 102px; top: 513.5px;\">\n<div class=\"gtx-trans-icon\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;HR&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;border: 0;||height: 0;||border-top: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);||border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.3);&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Admission to AP Courses&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.2&#8243; header_2_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;gcid-25fb3861-42ca-4ca5-b89c-9d7626555cd2&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-25fb3861-42ca-4ca5-b89c-9d7626555cd2%22:%91%22header_2_text_color%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Admission to AP Courses<\/h2>\n<p>AP courses require long-term commitment from students.
