What / Who is Collegeboard?
Collegeboard is an American non-profit organization that was formed in 1899 with the goal of expanding higher education opportunities for students across the United States. Today, Collegeboard is a highly respected organization that provides standardized examinations, like that of the PSAT and SAT, to promote college readiness, and the Advanced Placement Program to challenge students with rigorous college-level coursework, while they are still in high school. Within the past five years, Collegboard has also begun to expand their services to the provision of curriculum resources, like that of Pre-AP and Springboard, designed to prepare younger learners (6th-10th grade) for the complexity of the AP courses available to them in the 11th and 12th grade.

Why Does ICSL Offer AP Courses?
There are several important reasons why ICSL has chosen to provide our students with courses, assessment, and curriculum within the Advanced Placement Program. First, as an international school with an American Education focus, the AP Program provides learning experiences that will best prepare our students to be successful in any of the many universities across the United States. Second, as a Christian school, ICSL believes that God gives every individual specific talents and interests, and the AP Program is flexibly designed to allow students the opportunity to pursue coursework only in subject areas that they are passionate about. The third important reason is that the AP Program provides our students with the possibility of earning college credit for courses they take in high school.
