AP Language Composition

Course Description

This Advanced Placement (AP) English Language and Composition course cultivates high-level reading and writing skills through the close analysis of non-fiction texts, speeches, essays, and visual media.

Designed to align with an introductory college composition curriculum, the course prepares students to synthesize complex sources and take the official AP Exam for potential college credit.
