The Teaching and Learning Department oversees teacher curriculum program development at APS.

We help students succeed by simultaneously developing the skills of our teachers and ensuring the curriculum is challenging, achievable, and in accordance with state standards.

Some of the ways we accomplish this include:

  • Curriculum development
  • Instructional framework and support
  • Professional development
  • Student programs
  • Technology
  • Testing and feedback

APS Grades 9-12 Courses

Students enrolled in APS high schools have a large selection of opportunities available with challenging and enriching coursework that prepares them for life and the workforce. We encourage students and families to review the courses offered at each school by exploring the course selection forms below and browsing the additional resources for more details.

The school counselor will advise students during the enrollment process to ensure that their selected courses support their interests and goals.

Through College Credit Plus (CCP), students can earn free college credits while in high school.

Many APS courses are specific to a certain high school program, such as International Baccalaureate, Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps, or College & Career Academy Pathways. Other courses may be available across all high schools. Student athletes with either NCAA potential or interest in College Credit Plus/CTAG coursework should review course options with their counselor for eligibility. Course availability may be subject to change based on staffing and student enrollment.


APS Middle School Courses 

Students enrolled in APS middle schools have many courses available to them as they prepare for high school. The school counselor will work with your student to ensure the best academic opportunities. The middle school course forms are for informational purposes only. Your individual middle school may have course enrollment procedures in place unique to its campus.
