WELCOME TO MAPP - MARTINGROVE ADVANCED PLACEMENT® PROGRAM
Martingrove Collegiate is proud to offer the Advanced
Placement® Program and Pre-AP Program to all
qualified and interested students. The Pre-AP Program
begins in Grade 9 and continues through Grade 11.
Students learn the necessary skills, knowledge and
foundations for success in preparation for entrance to the
Advanced Placement® Program in grade 12.
Started in 1955, the College Board’s Advanced
Placement® Program enables students to pursue
University-level studies while in high school. Based on
their performance on rigorous AP Examinations, students
can earn credit and/or advanced placement for University
in North America and internationally.
We have chosen to offer the Pre-AP and AP Program
because it affords our students maximum flexibility with
respect to course selection; it prepares them well for
university, and because the program has become the
benchmark by which universities measure the potential of
their incoming students. The Advanced Placement
program is the most widely recognized university
preparation program in the world.
Confidence: AP students develop study habits, improve
writing skills, and sharpen problem-solving skills,
giving students the confidence to tackle the
academic challenges of University.
Credit: Entering University with AP credits gives students
opportunities to move into upper-level courses
in their field of interest, pursue a double major or
study/travel abroad.
There is a potential savings of hundreds of
dollars in university fees as students are given
credit for their successful AP courses.
University Success: Research consistently shows that students who
are successful in AP, experience greater academic
success in University than similar students who
do not participate in Advanced Placement
courses.
Why Should Students Take the Pre-AP and the Advanced
Placement Program At Martingrove Collegiate?

PRE-ADVANCED PLACEMENT AT MARTINGROVE COLLEGIATE
For entrance into the MAPP in Grade 9, we are seeking
motivated students with a history of academic success
and who have an interest in pursuing their studies in a
more intense and in-depth manner. Pre-AP students are
given the intellectual challenge to think critically and to
apply higher order thinking strategies to gain a more
profound understanding of the subject matter. Pre-AP
students should enjoy discussion and independent
research, as these skills are essential for success in
university.

The Grade 8 Report Card (Term 1)
