AP Seminar is a student-driven course designed by the College Board based on the skills college freshmen needed the most. These skills include public speaking, creating dynamic presentations, collaborating in teams, and writing thorough research papers. All of this is done through researching relevant topics/issues to find plausible solutions as they pertain to society both locally and globally. Students will assess their research questions through various lenses (i.e. Economic, Political, Historical, Scientific, etc.), as well as addressing various perspectives on such topics. In addition to furthering our readiness for college, we use our skills from AP Seminar to enhance our growth mindset pertaining to ourselves, our cultures, our local community and society at large, in hopes of creating a better future.
The QUEST Skills are the foundation of the course.
