The Advanced Placement (AP) program is at the heart and soul of our academic philosophy. Our continued success in helping honours students reach for the next level of performance is recognized across the province and the country.
Strathcona's AP program is one of the top three in Canada. Each year, the greatest share of Alberta's AP National Scholars, AP Scholars with Distinction and AP Scholars come from our school.
AP is the optimum route for university preparation, providing enriched and challenging academic courses that parallel and expand on the material covered in regular courses. Students develop sophisticated critical thinking skills and move through the curriculum at an accelerated pace, creating opportunities for advanced learning. AP courses are available in:
- Studio Art
- Biology
- Calculus AB
- Calculus BC
- Chemistry
- English
- French
- German
- Physics
- Social Studies
Students may enroll in one, some or all of the AP courses, leaving plenty of room for options.
