AP® ACCELERATOR
Our world-class curriculum uses the College Board's Advanced Placement® curriculum as a foundation for our student's education in that subject matter. At the Metropolitan Education Group, we believe that there is more to a school than taking examinations with a pencil and paper. We do things differently by adding a worldly element not seen in most programs. We have our students apply the tools they've learned in the classroom to the real world, such as case studies and current events. Our goal is not just to have our students score a five on the advanced placement examination but also to be able to apply the knowledge they learned to analyze current events effectively and to be able to articulate their opinions and reasoning on those events well if they come up in conversation. Employers value this highly, and we want to ensure that our students have a solid foundation before venturing out into the real world.
