“I have had a great experience with my AP courses at Laurel Springs. All of my teachers were knowledgeable and accessible. They allowed me to work at my own pace, but were always quick to respond to anything I may have needed. The coursework was reasonably challenging, but my stress level was usually low.” – Laurel Springs Student
