AP Program
At Queen City Collegiate, students may take Advanced Placement courses. An Advanced Placement course is equivalent to a first-year University course, and successful students receive advanced standing and/or academic credit at participating universities in Canada, the United States, and overseas. Advanced Placement courses are administered by an American organization, the College Board and are taught in over 13,000 schools worldwide. At QCC, the AP program further enhances our strong tradition of academic excellence.
