to adapt to foreign learning methods.

International schools generally do not make it mandatory to take AP courses. However, students who have taken AP courses can transfer credits directly to the university after arriving in the United States.

Among them, the AP courses taught in the AP class are American university prerequisite courses. The AP exam content is the main learning content. In terms of teaching resources, all classes have no more than 30 students, which is almost the same as ordinary high schools in the United States.
