This program is designed for students who are interested in taking college-level courses. To learn more about the recognizability of this program, visit the International College Board.

 

Most universities in both the USA and Europe greatly value high scores in AP level courses, and expect to see 2 to 3 at the time of application.   The fully-accredited AP courses we offer satisfy national and international requirements.   For students specifically aiming to study in the USA, an SAT course should also be added.

 

The end result:  A high school diploma with AP level courses - the best in its class!  Please note that this program can be combined with our full or hybrid high school program. 

 

Please review the ADMISSIONS PROCESS to find out if you qualify for this program and to apply.

/  PROGRAM OUTLINE AND WORLD RECOGNITION

AP is recognized as a highly desirable academic credential around the globe. Universities in over 60 countries outside the United States recognize AP in the admissions process. Universities which recognize AP Exam scores for advanced placement give the opportunity to skip introductory-level courses or award credit or points toward an undergraduate degree. To check acceptance in other countries, click here: AP International Recognition.

The American High School of Bulgaria offers Honors and AP courses to all students in 11th and 12th grade. We encourage students to strive for greatness and to excel in all of their academic achievements.  AP courses offered include the following disciplines:

 

  • AP/Honors Social Studies

  • AP/Honors English

  • AP/Honors Sciences

  • AP/Honors Macro and Microeconomics

  • AP/Honors Mathematics

 

Please note that Advanced Placement Courses or Advanced College project courses have the same expectations with the added intensity of its being a college level course.  For that reason, only students with high grades and recommendations from their teachers/principal qualify.
