CodeHS is preparing for exam changes with curriculum updates
As we prepare for the upcoming 2024–2025 school year, we want to share some important updates about the AP Computer Science A (AP CSA) course. While we are not making any changes to the current AP CSA course for this year, we are actively working on developing a new version of the course to align with the revised course framework that the College Board announced for the 2025–2026 school year.
Revision Required from the College Board
The College Board has introduced a revised course framework for AP CSA, which will go into effect in the 2025–2026 school year. Teachers and educators can preview the revised course framework and find answers to frequently asked questions on the College Board website. This resource provides valuable insights into the upcoming changes and helps educators start planning for the transition.
Developing a New AP CSA Course at CodeHS
In response to these upcoming changes, we are in the process of creating a new version of our AP CSA course. Our goal is to ensure that this new course aligns fully with the revised framework while continuing to provide a rigorous and engaging learning experience for students.
As we develop this new course, we will be pursuing endorsement from the College Board. This endorsement is an important step in ensuring that our course meets the high standards set by the College Board and that it is recognized as a high-quality option for students taking AP CSA.
Keeping Teachers Informed
We will keep CodeHS AP CSA teachers informed throughout this process and will share updates and resources to help you prepare for the transition. In the meantime, we encourage teachers to explore the resources available on the College Board website, including the preview of the revised course framework and the FAQ section. These resources provide valuable information that can help you understand the upcoming changes and start thinking about how to adapt your teaching strategies.
Thank you for your continued dedication to teaching and supporting your students. We look forward to working with you as we develop and implement the new AP CSA course.
