📚 Choose from 4 AP CSP Courses

As you set up your new 24-25 class section(s), you can choose from any of the courses below!

AP Computer Science Principles in JavaScript
AP Computer Science Principles in Python
AP Computer Science Principles: Cybersecurity
AP Computer Science Principles: Roblox

The AP Computer Science Principles: Cybersecurity course is available in JavaScript, but Python users can still get in on the action by using the NCyTE Concept Lessons in Python and the conversion guide to integrate into our existing AP Computer Science Principles in Python course.

⏰ How to Pace Your AP Course

As you think about planning out the school year, make sure to leave enough time for each unit and time to review and complete the Create Task. The syllabus can be a great resource to help you plan out the year. Each syllabus offers an estimate of how long each unit will take.

Keep in mind that these are only estimates and some classes will move a little faster or slower through some of the units. If you are finding yourself falling a little behind, consider skipping one or more of the practice Performance Tasks (PT), especially early on as the PT skills are still forming.
