AP Microeconomics

Advanced Placement Microeconomics is a full-year course that provides students with the opportunity to gain a fundamental understanding of the economy, one that will prove valuable to the college-bound student pursuing most any career path. Students will focus on the fundamental concepts of supply and demand, markets and prices, types of firms along with their costs and profits, market power, and the role of government in the economy including taxation and environmental economics. Students are strongly encouraged to take the AP exam offered in May. Strong performance on this exam may earn them college credits. AP Exams require a fee to be paid by the family. Families who meet financial eligibility guidelines will receive financial support. Any family concerned about paying for AP exam fees should consult with their student's counselor.
