How Your Per-Course Price is Calculated
| School Size* | Standard Per-Course Price | Per-Course Price Offering 3 Pre-AP Courses** | Per-Course Price Offering 4 or more Pre-AP Courses** |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-400 students | $1,500 | $1,350 | $1,200 |

| 1500+ students | $6,500 | $5,850 | $5,200 |

| 401-1500 students | $1,600 | $2,000 |
| 1500+ students | $2,600 | $3,250 |
*If your school size is close to the threshold for the lower pricing segment (within 50 students), we will provide the lower price as our goals are accessible for students and value for our school partners. School size will be confirmed during the Application process.
** Discounts are granted based on the number of Pre-AP courses offered: 3 = 10% off, 4 or more = 20% off. Most if not all schools will pay a discounted price as we are looking for participating schools to offer the maximum number of Pre-AP courses possible at their institution in order to derive the maximum benefit of the interdisciplinary approach built into the Pre-AP courses.
*** Pricing applies to all Pre-AP course subject areas. Because we offer SpringBoard schools a maximum discount due to their existing partnership with The College Board, we do not offer these schools additional discounts.
Pre-AP 9th Grade Arts Courses
Because of our belief that the Arts is an integral part of a student’s education, the College Board is pleased to offer Pre-AP Arts 9th grade courses in Dance, Music, Theatre, or Visual Art at no additional charge to schools that participate in School Year 2019-2020.
