All Advanced Placements courses are conducted under the auspices of the College Board. This course is based upon the requirements of a college introductory US History course. Students will prepare for the AP Examination. The course goes beyond a traditional US History course to include methods found in college- level courses. A focus in AP history is examining historical issues from various viewpoints. This course places a heavy emphasis on reading, writing and developing test-taking skills. All students who register for this course are expected to take the AP exam in May.
