AP Program Overview

The AP Program at Jordan ​provides coursework which not only challenges and enriches a student's high school experience while preparing for the AP Exam, but also helps prepare students to graduate on time and with options.

The AP Program at Jordan High School supports the concept of a growth mindset in our classes and will work with students to develop this approach. "A growth mindset is the belief that intelligence can be developed. Students with a growth mindset understand they can get smarter through hard work, the use of effective strategies, and help from others when needed (Mindset Scholars Network).
