Advanced Placement (AP) Programs

AP Capstone™ is a program that will be available for North Creek High School juniors and seniors as of the 2018-2019 school year.

AP Capstone™ is an innovative diploma program from the College Board that equips students with the independent research, collaborative teamwork, and communication skills that are increasingly valued by colleges. It cultivates curious, independent, and collaborative scholars and prepares them to make logical, evidence-based decisions. AP Capstone is comprised of two AP courses — AP Seminar and AP Research — and is designed to complement and enhance the discipline-specific study in other AP courses. Students who earn scores of 3 or higher in AP Seminar and AP Research and on four additional AP Exams of their choosing will receive the AP Capstone Diploma. Students who earn scores of 3 or higher in AP Seminar and AP Research but not on four additional AP Exams will receive the AP Seminar and Research Certificate. Learn more about AP Capstone.

The AP exams are offered to Northshore School District students in May of each year. Exams are not offered to students outside of the Northshore School District. See AP Test Schedule at the left for AP testing dates and times.
