The Advanced Placement (AP) program in the Omaha Public Schools offers high school students the opportunity to take college-level courses in a high school setting. For over fifty years, students in the school district have participated in the AP program to gain higher-level academic skills and earn college credit while still in high school. Successful completion of AP Exams offers the opportunity to earn college credit and financial savings for families on courses traditionally taken in college freshman and sophomore years. Participation in the AP program gives students college-level experience while still in high school.

AP classes are open to all students who are interested in taking the courses. Younger students in preparation for AP participation should enroll in the most challenging courses they can handle. It will help students develop the study habits necessary for rigorous coursework, stand out in the college admissions process, and demonstrate their commitment to academic excellence.
