Advanced Placement International Diploma 
An option that Advanced Placement students may want to take advantage of here at Bartram Trail is the Advanced Placement International Diploma (APID). It is a globally recognized certificate for students who are thinking they may want to apply to a university outside of the United States. This includes Canada, South Africa, Asia, and the Pacific including China, Australia, Europe and Near East South Asia. It is recognized as part of the admission process at such schools as University of British Columbia, London Metropolitan University, Royal Academy of Music, London, and University of St. Andrews, plus many more.

APID is not a substitute for a high school diploma, but rather provides additional certification of outstanding academic excellence. Similar to an International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma, it challenges a student to display exceptional achievement on AP Exams across several disciplines.
Bartram Trail High School offers all of the Advanced Placement courses necessary to prepare for and succeed in the APID program.
To earn an APID, students must earn grades of three or higher on at least FIVE AP exams
in the following content areas:
1. Two AP Exams from two different languages selected from English and/or world languages.
2. One AP Exam designated as offering a global perspective: World History or Human Geography,
3. One exam from the sciences or mathematics content areas.
4. One (or two) additional exam(s) from among any content areas except English and world languages. These include the content areas already described as well as history and social sciences and the arts: Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, US History, U.S. Government and Politics, Psychology, and Studio Art
Students must indicate on at least one AP Exam answer sheet that the results should be sent to a university outside the United States.
