Advanced Placement (AP) program consists of specialized college-level classes offered to high school students. The courses culminate in an exam at the end of the year. Students who perform well on the exam can earn college credit and test out of classes at American and foreign universities.

Preparing the AP exam with EFGH

Students are required to demonstrate college-level critical thinking skills. In addition to in-person classes (conducted entirely in French), they must complete weekly homework assignments to fully benefit from the course.

• Weekly reading, listening, and writing exercises assigned by the instructor
• Weekly preparatory group classes
• Practice tests throughout the year to familiarize students with the test content and format

Our AP French Language and Culture class is designed to complement high school AP classes, helping students achieve the highest possible score and earn college credit.
