​Course and Exam Description 

The AP Computer Science curriculum is completely online. However there are other optional classroom textbooks, online E-books, and even student created material from past years. The online curriculum tracks your progress, and maintains a gradebook reviewed by Mr. Reppe.  You can access your account from any computer in, or out, of school. Mr. Reppe has created an account for you, and you will receive that information on the first day of class.
