AP® World History: Modern

Grades: 10, 11, 12

Couse description

In AP® World History: Modern, students participate in critical analysis using a Christian worldview that encompasses the beginning of human interaction and the separation of nations after the tower of Babel to present-day political and social issues. Each module investigates a specific theme and time period and explores ways that God directly guided many events, even as man rebelled against Him. Students collaboratively discuss specific historical issues, analyzing them from both biblical and secular viewpoints. They analyze primary and secondary documents (in addition to other quantitative, cartographical, and artistic sources) to understand and support specific viewpoints of history and to differentiate issues from one region of the world to those of others. At the end of each module, students make connections with the themes of the course and have opportunities to practice answering multiple-choice and essay questions in AP® format.

This course is designed to provide a college-level experience and prepare students for the AP® exam. Students wishing to take the AP® exam are responsible for registering prior to the November 15 deadline. AP® Exams are administered the following May. Students must take the AP® exam in order to receive AP® credit.
