What’s Changing in AP

The important thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to discover new ways of thinking about them.
—William Lawrence Bragg
We must welcome the future, remembering that soon it will be the past.

—George Santayana
Language shapes the way we think and determines what we can think about.

—Benjamin Lee Whorf

To stay strongly aligned with college credit policies and to prepare AP students for college and subsequent careers, the AP Program has recently redesigned several courses in history, world languages, and science. This site focuses on connecting with, informing, and supporting teachers as they learn about and implement AP course changes.
