Host an AP Summer Institute

AP Summer Institutes provide intensive professional learning, with a minimum of 30 instructional hours in no less than four days, in one or more AP subjects. AP Summer Institutes must be led by a College Board–endorsed consultant and hosted by an accredited higher education institution, or an accredited secondary institution with an established higher education partnership.

Applications to host an AP Summer Institute are accepted year-round. Applications must be received by mid-June to be considered for the following summer. For example, to host an institute in the summer of 2021, we must receive your application by mid-June 2020.
