AP English Language Combine: Training Beyond the Classroom

AP English language students exercising

Blending academics with movement, students in Mrs. Molly Simpson Matthews’s AP English Language class took part in the AP Combine, a dynamic experience designed to prepare them for the College Board AP Exam. Modeled after the NFL Combine, the activity challenged students to shift quickly between writing tasks while practicing the skills needed for three timed essays. Between sessions, students recharged with fun physical challenges across campus, from skipping and doing jumping jacks to running steps and ballet moves, making the experience both engaging and effective.
