AP WORLD HISTORY:

AP World History covers 10,000 years of world history, looking primarily at the last 1,000 years.  Rather than being focused solely on Western/European Civilization, the course approaches the study of history from a truly global perspective, paying close attention to the ways in which the world’s major societies and cultures have interacted across time and influenced the development of global processes and systems.

This course provides students with the opportunity to prepare for the May AP World History exam, challenging students to stretch toward reaching their individual potential and preparing them for the rigor of future educational experiences at CHS and beyond.
