SpringBoard® |

Overview
SpringBoard® is a rigorous, highly engaging, student-centered, interactive and standards-based curriculum designed by teachers for teachers under the auspices of the College Board. It is the College Board’s official Pre-Advanced Placement program with curricula available in English Language Arts and Mathematics. SpringBoard® was developed to provide a roadmap for attaining the knowledge and skills students require for success in Advanced Placement courses and in college-level work. The SpringBoard® research-based curriculum provides students with 21st century skills and prepares them for Advanced Placement and college-level coursework.
