AP European History

The study of European history from 1450 (High Renaissance) to the present introduces students to cultural, economic, political, and social developments that played a fundamental role in shaping the world in which they live. The goals of the AP program in European History are to develop 1) an understanding of some of the principal themes in modern European History, 2) an ability to analyze historical evidence and historical interpretation, and 3) an ability to express historical understanding in writing. The opportunity to take the AP Exam will be available at the end of the course. Light summer reading required.
