Advanced Placement

At Edison we proudly embrace the Advanced Placement Program. In brief, the Advanced Placement (AP) Program offers authentic university level courses and examinations to motivated high school students.

In addition to setting course curriculum, The College Board authors and assesses all AP examinations. Students who perform well on these exams may earn university credit, placement, or both. Edison’s AP alumni appreciate the exposure and confidence gained through university level concepts and assessment – all prior to high school graduation.

Edison School is proud to have earned Platinum status on the AP School Honor Roll Awards from College Board, the highest honour level! 5,061 schools—which represent 32% of eligible high schools—were recognized in 2024 for their work creating AP programs that are delivering results for students while broadening access. 1,049 schools (7% of eligible schools) received Platinum level AP School Honor Roll recognition. Only 1% of eligible Canadian schools received this honour. Visit https://secure-media.collegeboard.org/pdf/ap-school-honor-roll-recipients-canada-2024.pdf for more information.
