Twenty-two students at Liberty Christian School earned AP Scholar Awards in recognition of their achievements on Advanced Placement exams for the 2013–2014 school year.
The College Board’s Advanced Placement Program® provides students an opportunity to take college-level courses while still in high school, earning college credit, advanced placement or both. An estimated 22 percent of the 2.2 million students worldwide who took AP Exams earned an AP Scholar Award.
