The Advanced Placement (AP) Simplified Mandarin course is available to high school students who have successfully completed the Level C, Simplified Mandarin course. The AP exam is typically at the difficulty level of first-year university courses, and; therefore, most Ontario universities often award university-level credit for earning high scores on these exams. Also, the Advanced Placement Program enables and academically prepares students to pursue university-level studies. Since only one AP course is offered, registration is first-come, first-served. Additional fees apply. If you are interested, please contact our main office: ILIL@yrdsbc.ca.
