MGA’s AP courses include: AP English Language & Composition, AP English Literature & Composition, AP Calculus AB, AP Biology, AP Statistics, AP U.S. History and AP U.S. Government.
All courses at The Maine Girls’ Academy are designed to provide students with strong foundational skills that will prepare them for the challenges of more advanced study and the richness of life that comes from the realization that learning is a life-long process.
