Course description

Pre-AP World History and Geography focuses deeply on the concepts and skills that have maximum value for college; career; and civic life.

The course is built around three enduring ideas to create an engaging and relevant social studies course:

History is an interrelated story of the world.
The course explores the invisible structures and forces that shape and reflect the regions; communities; governments; economies; and cultures of humanity. These big ideas help students develop an organized and meaningful understanding of time and space.
History and geography are inherently dynamic.
As historians and geographers uncover new evidence; current assumptions are challenged and previous arguments and narratives gain complexity; nuance; and context. This course teaches students how to examine sources and data; establish inferences; and ultimately build and critique arguments.
Historians and geographers are investigators.
Learning in Pre-AP World History and Geography is designed to be a disciplinary apprenticeship in which students participate in the process of discovery. Students will play the role of historian and geographer by practicing the detective skills and using the tools of each craft.
