ADVANCED PLACEMENT COURSES AT EIE
WELCOME TO AP AT EIE
PRESS RELEASE
JULY 25, 2005
HOMESCHOOLERS ACE ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) TEST
The Advanced Placement Test results have just been released and local
homeschoolers have ‘aced’ the exam. For the last two years Excellence In
Education in partnership with Mark Cruthers have been teaching AP
European History and AP U.S. History to homeschool students.
Ten students enrolled in the AP US History class this past year with Mr.
Cruthers and took the exam in May. All students passed the exam with the
following amazing breakdown: four students with a score of 5, five students
with a score of 4 and one student with a score of 3. Nationally on the AP
US History exam, only about 52% pass the exam with a 3 or better
compared with 100% of the homeschool students from EIE. Approximately
8.2% of students in the nation pass with a score of 5 (maximum score)
compared to 40% of EIE students. The fact that 90% scored a 4 or 5 on
this exam is remarkable.
Students that pass an AP exam have completed that equivalent course or
courses at a four year university. Students who pass three or more AP
exams achieve the status of AP Scholar. For example, Leslie Grimard of
Monrovia, just received her second score of 5. Last year she scored a 5
on the AP European History Exam and this year she earned a 5 on the AP
U.S. History Exam. This coming school year she will be taking two AP
courses at EIE which will place her as an AP Scholar Student. The status of
AP Scholar Student will open unlimited academic and scholarship
opportunities for Leslie.
Based upon the great success of homeschool students, EIE will be
expanding its AP course lineup to include these courses: AP European
History, AP U.S. History, AP Calculus AB, AP Psychology, AP Government
and AP Music Theory. Tentative courses that EIE is planning to add are: AP
Macro Economics and AP English Literature. Mr. Cruthers will be highly
involved in the teacher training guidelines that EIE is creating to insure this
remarkable success rate continues in the future for EIE students. It will be
through highly qualified teachers that EIE will be able to provide this
wonderful opportunity that has historically been available to public and
some private school students. Students meet once a week for three hours
in intense discussions and lectures along with course homework to prepare
for the AP exam. Students are given specific training in reading, writing and
testing skills to empower them to succeed in the course and the exam. This
formula has worked very well for these students.
EIE makes this opportunity available for any student who wishes to
advance themselves academically in the pursuit of excellence. You can
contact EIE at (626) 821-0025 for more information.

| AP COURSES OFFERED AT EIE FALL 2005 |
Excellence In Education is excited to announce that we are expanding our
Advanced Placement (AP) offerings this 2005-06 school year. We have
included our latest press release for your review about the success EIE has
had with teaching AP courses.
With competition for academic scholarships and placement in colleges
and universities at an all time high, it is important to provide your student
with all the advantages possible. The inclusion of AP courses and AP
Exam scores will provide this important advantage. Successful passing of
the AP Exam also provides college credit for the exam subject, allowing
your student to get college credit without taking the class.
EIE realizes that many schools do not offer AP courses, putting many
students at a disadvantage when competing for university placement and
scholarship consideration. It is our privilege to offer your students the
opportunity to participate in our AP program. The student will meet once a
week for three hours at our Resource Center in Monrovia. We will provide
a report card indicating the grade and participation in our AP courses. In
May the student will take the AP Exam, most likely at Monrovia High School.
