Year-round mild temperatures, miles of sandy beaches, the distinction of having America\u2019s Oldest City (St. Augustine), and an internationally recognized sports haven, all add to the allure of the county to both residents and tourists alike. Located in the northwest quadrant of St. Johns County, Creekside High School (CHS) officially opened its doors to its first students on August 22, 2008. Creekside High School has received the grade of \u201cA\u201d from the Florida Department of Education.

These courses are designed to complement other AP courses that the AP Capstone student may take. Instead of teaching specific subject knowledge, AP Seminar and AP Research use an interdisciplinary approach to develop the critical thinking, research, collaboration, time management, and presentation skills students need for college-level work. The College Board developed the AP Capstone Diploma program at the request of higher education professionals, who saw a need for a systematic way for high school students to begin mastering these skills before college.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;color: #000000\"><strong>Dual Enrollment<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nCourses are offered through an agreement between St. Johns County Schools and St. Johns River State College, on both campuses.
