Advanced Placement & Capstone
Advanced Placement gives students the chance to tackle college-level work while they're still in high school—whether they're learning online or in the classroom. And through taking AP Exams, students can earn college credit and placement.
Excelsior waives AP Exam fees for all students taking the exam. There are fees for students who register late or do not sit for their exam.

AP Capstone™ is a diploma program from the College Board based on two yearlong AP courses: AP Seminar and AP Research.
Rather than teaching subject-specific content, these courses develop students’ skills in research, analysis, evidence-based arguments, collaboration, writing, and presenting. Students who complete the two-year program can earn one of two different AP Capstone awards, which are valued by colleges across the United States and around the world.
