Steward Earns AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award

The Steward School has earned the College Board AP® Computer Science Female Diversity Award for achieving high female representation in AP Computer Science A (CSA). Schools honored with this national award have expanded access to Advanced Placement computer science courses for female students.

During the 2023-24 school year, 1,153 institutions achieved an AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award for CSA, Computer Science Principles (CSP), or both courses. Award contenders must either have reached 50 percent or higher female representation in one of the two AP computer science courses or have achieved a percentage of female computer science exam takers that meets or exceeds that of the school’s female population. Steward was one of only 237 recognized for improving female representation in AP CSA.

“We’re thrilled to congratulate our female AP computer science students and their dedicated teachers on this step toward gender equity in computer science education,” said Director of Upper School Bobby Pollicino. “We’re honored that Steward earned this national distinction and look forward to seeing these young women and others achieve success in computer science education and careers.”
