​Full Year Course

AP® Psychology introduces students to the systematic and scientific study of human behavior and mental processes. Students learn the psychological facts, principles, and phenomena contained within the major branches of psychology. The first semester focuses on the fundamental sub-fields of neurobiology, behavior, development, sensation, perception, and cognition. This provides a solid footing from which to investigate the topics of learning, social, and abnormal psychology in the latter half of the year. Interwoven throughout our study are numerous opportunities to cultivate research and critical thinking skills. Presented with experiential psychological field work, students are challenged to apply different research methods, collaborate with others, collect and analyze data, and arrive at conclusions. The course is designed to prepare students for the AP® Psychology Exam in May.
