Welcome to AP World History!
Advanced Placement World History is designed to give high school level students a course that is equivalent to an introductory college course in World History. This course offers a detailed, and in depth study of our shared global history. By taking this course, students will develop a greater understanding of global processes and interactions among societies throughout the world. They will also examine how these societies have changed over periods of time, as well as being able to identify patterns of continuity between different civilizations and time periods. Students will read and organize data based on the themes, write analytical and document-based essays, and analyze primary and secondary sources. Additionally, AP World History will prepare students for using evidence to make plausible arguments, while allowing significant practice in identifying point of view, context, and bias within historical documents and text.
