Course description

Academy AP World History is a course designed to prepare ambitious and dedicated history students for college-level history classes. While the course correlates with Arizona History Standards; it approaches the study of history with much more breadth and depth. The Academy AP World History course will focus on a variety of themes that collectively describe human experience. The emphasis is on the comparison of societies; utilizing activities that place importance on similarities and differences; rather than memorization and description. Focus is given to larger historical processes that connect individual societies; as well as the use of key time periods illustrating change and growth in the international framework. Mastery is demonstrated by taking the Advanced Placement World History Exam in May.†
