AP Biology 

The Advanced Placement Biology course is designed to be the equivalent of a college introductory biology course usually taken by life science majors during their first year of college. Students will learn the conceptual framework, knowledge, and analytical skills necessary to deal critically with the rapidly changing science of biology.  Students will complete a variety of laboratories, and they will be prepared to take the AP Biology Examination in May, for which they may gain college credit or placement.
