What GPA do you need for AP classes?
Students do not need a specific GPA to take AP courses. Many of our AP courses have prerequisites or are sequential in order. For example, AP Physics. Students need to take two years of science courses before they can take AP Physics, and then the order of courses is AP Physics 1 for one year, and then AP Physics C for an additional year, if the student chooses to take that course.

What is the best AP class to take?
The class where a student discovers their passion and maximizes their learning is the best AP course to take.
The Advanced Placement (AP) Program at Concordia is a rigorous academic program that offers university-level courses and exams to our students. AP classes are completely elective; however, students who have demonstrated scholarship in prior related subjects are encouraged to consider AP classes. Concordia administration, counselors, and teachers are always available to advise students on appropriate course loads.
Typically, students in Grade 9 and 10 may take one AP class. Grade 11 students may take up to three AP courses and Grade 12 students may take up to four AP courses. There are exceptions to these limits but they are considered on a student-by-student basis.
Why should I take AP?*
More than 90% of 4-year colleges and universities in the U.S. grant advanced placement, credit, or both for successful scores on AP Exams, and 85% of selective institutions report that a student’s AP experience favorably impacts admission decisions.
AP is recognized by more than 3,600 universities worldwide.
More than 600 universities in over 55 countries outside of the U.S. recognize AP.
The Advanced Placement International Diploma (APID)*
The APID is a globally recognized certificate for students with an international outlook. The APID challenges a student to display exceptional achievement on AP Exams across several disciplines.
