<p>I don’t think AP’s are as important at the preps, even if they are offered. Kids don’t go overboard and load up…you can’t even really take an AP until you are a junior and the English AP’s are only open to seniors. The regular courses are just as heavy and intense as our public’s AP’s are (my son was comparing with some of his friends at the public he would have goine to). Actually my son and daughter have several of the same textbooks, required reading…she is a junior in college; he is a junior in high school.</p>
