The textbooks are quite varied. There is not a "National" textbook. 

Books may be chosen from the School District,  the School itself (especially if private school). The county, etc.

By AP I assume you mean Advanced Placement? Not all schools have it but those that do, usually have it in most High School subjects (though there is NO AP class for Home-Ec).

Yes, textbooks are varied, it's a competitive market.

 

AP classes vary by school too (bigger/richer schools offer greater variety of classes).

 

I can tell you from what I remember my school offered AP A/B Calculus, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, US History, and World History for sure.  I know they offered more, but those are the ones I can specifically remember.  

 

I believe they offered some sort of AP English and AP foreign languages (from Spanish, French, Italian and German), but can't specifically remember anyone who did.

 

I've also worked in another larger school that offered AP Statistics.

Most of the text books will only last a couple of years and they usually replace it with other books the newer version which is slightly different. It's kind of like college after a couple years they usually revise the books that way they can make new books and sell them to students. 

crimochina:

sell them to students??????????? yeah you grow up in america alright. in high school you bought you text books haha

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
