Class Descriptions:

AP World History:

----------
AP U.S. Government & Politics:
Concepts like freedom, representation, and federalism have defined American government. But how did these values emerge as the guiding forces in our national life? How has political life and government evolved since the founding? SpringLight Education Institute’s AP United States Government and Politics will not only prepare students to score well on the AP exam, but will also teach students to analyze and interpret the Constitution, important political documents, and data to better understand American government and political culture. Students will learn the guiding structures and principles of American national government but will also develop the skills to analyze the factors that have shaped American politics over the last two centuries.
----------
AP Human Geography:
The Advanced Placement Human Geography (APHG) course prepares students to take the APHG exam and introduces them to the systematic study of patterns and processes that have shaped human understanding, use, and alteration of Earth's surface. The course focuses on the connection, processes, and effects of human populations on the planet. The course focuses on seven units of study: nature and perspectives of geography, population, cultural patterns and processes, political organization of space, agricultural and rural land use, industrialization and economic development, and cities and urban land use. In addition to being well prepared for the APHG exam, students will develop an understanding of how humans interact with the earth’s surface.
----------
AP Psychology:
The AP Psychology course introduces students to the systematic and scientific study of human behavior and mental processes. While considering the psychologists and studies that have shaped the field, students explore and apply psychological theories, key concepts, and phenomena associated with such topics as the biological bases of behavior, sensation and perception, learning and cognition, motivation, developmental psychology, testing and individual differences, treatments of psychological disorders, and social psychology.
Throughout the course, students employ psychological research methods, including ethical considerations, as they use the scientific method, evaluate claims and evidence, and effectively communicate ideas.
