AP for all

What is AP For All?

Research shows that students who take AP courses and exams are more likely to graduate college on time; the gains are greatest for low-income students and students of color. 

AP for All is part of NYCDOE’s Equity and Excellence agenda. AP for All aims to ensure that by fall 2021, students at all high schools will have access to at least five AP classes, thereby increasing college and career readiness for all students. To accomplish this goal, AP for All seeks to: expand the number of AP courses within schools that have not historically offered them; increase the equity of AP course enrollment across all schools; and provide necessary supports to schools in order to improve student performance on AP exams.

Can any student take AP courses?

YES! In fact, ALL students at MHA are automatically enrolled in AP US History, AP US Government, AP Literature, AP Language and Composition, and AP Biology as part of our core curriculum for graduation.

AP Computer Science is for students enrolled in our competitive Computer Science & Mathematics program and AP Calculus is for students who enter high school with Algebra finished, or for students who choose to take 2 years of math in 1 year.

All students at MHA are encouraged to challenge themselves with Advanced Placement courses to be better prepared for college and career- even if you don’t think you are an “AP Student”, at first.

Information sessions are offered several times a year for any student interested in AP courses.
