AP4ALL Course Information

What: Advanced Placement courses
When: During the 2008/2009 school year
For Whom: Maine students from qualifying* high schools

 * Qualifying status is determined by calculating the percentage of students in the district (not including any high schools) eligible for free or reduced lunch assistance programs, Social Security, or Medicaid. Using this calculation, at least 40% must be eligible to qualify.
How: Courses will be taught online and using other distance technologies
By Whom: By Maine teachers who are AP trained, well-qualified in the subject that they are teaching, and have knowledge and skills specific to teaching online
Cost: There are no costs involved for students who attend qualifying schools.

Non-qualifying schools can register students in AP4ALL courses. However, either the student or the student's school would be required to pay $500 tuition directly to the school offering the course.
Requirements: Each school that enrolls a student in an AP4ALL course is required to provide a school mentor.

The school mentor will help AP4ALL teachers guide and support students and increase the likelihood of student success. A complete job description for the school mentor position is available.
