AP* Seminars Silicon Valley announces a four-day Advanced Placement Summer Institute (APSI), July 18-21, 2016, in the fields listed above.  Outstanding College Board* endorsed presenters will provide teachers in the Advanced Placement Program* with the skills and materials they need to successfully teach AP*. These courses are appropriate for both new and experienced teachers.  These seminars have been taught from many years at Stanford and at local high schools.

In 2016, all classes will be held on the campus of Palo Alto High School, adjacent to Stanford University.  There is an option to stay on the campus of Stanford University  during the week of the institute.

Palo Alto High School is conveniently located near two major airports (San Francisco and San Jose) and boasts a generally mild summer climate. It is within easy driving distance of San Francisco.
