Supporting Northeast TN
Our thoughts are with everyone in East Tennessee affected by the recent flooding. Being based in Greene County, we understand the devastation many are experiencing, and we know that access to online courses will be challenging for some of our students and teachers in the coming weeks.
Please rest assured that we will support our students whenever they are able to return to their courses and they will not be penalized for missed work during this time. We understand that the focus right now should be on recovery, not online coursework.

Hear From Our Students and Teachers
Samantha M.
Wayne County High School
“My rural high school did not have AP classes before the AP Access for ALL program, and I was very grateful for the opportunity to earn college credit that otherwise wouldn't have been available to me. I feel this course has greatly improved my time management skills and my ability to succeed in post-secondary education.”
Eli K & Carter B
Livingston Academy
These students took AP Psychology and both students achieved an A in the class. We are proud of their hard work and dedication to achieving academic success while at Livingston Academy. They continue to raise the bar for academics and have encouraged others to start taking on the challenge of AP courses. They are proof that LA=Academic Success.
Matthew Harrison
AP Spanish Language Teacher
“My favorite part of Niswonger Online and AP Access for ALL is that it allows students from schools that do not have offerings in their preferred subject area to pursue opportunities
in those fields in preparation for their intended college major or minor. It has also been a great way to meet some awesome students and
connect with renowned educators from
across the state!”
Amala-Sanaa N.
L&N Steam Academy
“One thing I really appreciate about AP Access for All is how devoted they are to your success. They want you to succeed and give you a plethora of opportunities to expand knowledge and experience throughout the whole course. I loved all of my AP classes...one of those I would've never been able to take without AP Access for All. “
Jace N.
Munford High School
“I have had an enjoyable experience. I definitely enjoy the Physics class the most because I feel like I have learned the most valuable information for my future career goals. I did not have access to almost any AP classes when I started APAA and I have a great variety to take advantage of now.”
Caitlin Riding
AP Biology Teacher
“I feel very grateful to be a part of the AP Access for All community! AP Biology is a tough class but I feel that students benefit from the flexible schedule and the opportunity to be better prepared for college. I have been so impressed by how well the students handle the rigorous course load and application of such a
broad range of topics.”
Eric Wondergem
AP Precalculus Teacher
“This is my first online teaching experience, and after developing the APAA Precalculus course with a colleague, the implementation has been very satisfying. I feel like the students are really learning mathematics, and teaching this course has shown
me that technology can bring us
together.”
Mariah H.
Community High School
“Deciding to participate in the AP Access for all has been a huge help in my academic journey. This has allowed me to gain more insight and knowledge that I wasn’t able to obtain before.”
Ephraim R.
Smith County High School
My AP class frees up availability in my school class schedule giving me more time to specialize in my humanities focus in high school. My school, being in rural Tennessee, had little to no access to AP classes before the AP Access for ALL program. With this program, many kids within my school are granted a way to further their education at their own pace.
