What are AP courses? AP courses are taught by high school teachers who follow course guidelines developed and published by the College Board. These courses are an option for high school students to access college-level learning opportunities while enrolled at Camden Catholic High School and taking courses on the high school campus. Most colleges and universities nationwide offer college credit, advanced placement, or both, for qualifying AP Exam scores.
