What is APSI:

This five-day comprehensive training institute provides high school and middle school teachers of Advanced Placement* and Pre-AP* courses with information on the latest curriculum topics facing education, teaching techniques and what resources are available for teachers to succeed in their position. New and experienced teachers are encouraged to attend the institute. The classes will be taught by an enthusiastic and dedicated group of experienced advance placement consultants from throughout the region.

Attendance Requirements
