Advanced Placement Summer Institute
APSI courses at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) are offered to high school teachers from around the country and are designed for any level AP teacher.
What sets SAIC apart?
Our faculty team members are not only AP approved consultants, but are also part of the College Board team at the highest levels. They are able to move beyond teaching the basics of the AP test and explore the philosophies and goals of the College Board curriculum, as only members of the leadership circle can.

"Colleen Harrigan & Michael Ryan are a dynamic facilitating duo! They were absolutely wonderful to work with! Exceeded all expectations! They had such complementary styles of holding the virtual space & facilitating conversation. They each offered the most thoughtful reflections to each & every participant's contributions... an unexpected gift. Logging off for the last time felt like saying goodbye to old friends."
