Advanced Placement classes have content that is both rigorous and challenging. These courses are taught at the college level and must meet certain criteria as outlined on the College Board’s Advanced Placement website (www.collegeboard.com/apcentral). Based on their performance on the rigorous exams in each course administered in May and based on the policies of each college, it is possible for students to obtain college placement exemptions or college credit. Course descriptions and course requirements are outlined on the College Board website. If you are looking for additional information about the benefits of taking AP Courses and Exams, the College Board has a lot of material available for review, including this pamphlet. Forsyth County requires its AP teachers to complete training through the College Board for the AP course(s) that they teach. This intensive training prepares them to teach the skills and concepts required in the subject area AP curriculum. Most of LHS's AP courses have summer assignments for students to complete. Please check the website for additional information related to these assigments.
Information about the AP Program and specific descriptions about each of the courses offered at Lambert High School can be found using the links on the left side of this page. On the AP Program and Courses page you will find the most recent AP Night Presentation, which contains a general program overview and a description of the expectations for students in AP Courses to help students and parents make the best scheduling decisions. Also on that page is the LHS AP Course Digest, designed by our AP Teachers to provide students and parents with more specific course descriptions, including some of the prerequisite skills and content covered throughout the course.
Advanced Placement offerings are contingent upon sufficient enrollment of interested, self-disciplined, and self-motivated students who are willing to commit to considerable out-of-class preparation. Certain AP courses require prerequisites courses.
