The AP Psychology course introduces students to the systematic and scientific study of human behavior and mental processes. While considering the psychologists and studies that have shaped the field, students explore and apply psychological theories, key concepts, and phenomena associated with such topics as the biological bases of behavior, sensation and perception, learning and cognition, motivation, developmental psychology, testing and individual differences, treatments of psychological disorders, and social psychology. Throughout the course, students employ psychological research methods, including ethical considerations, as they use the scientific method, evaluate claims and evidence, and effectively communicate ideas.

AP Psychology, while an elective, is a course that can be applied to all areas of life. Business, marketing, medicine, education, and parenting all use aspects of what is revealed in this course. We examine several areas of psychology to not only help students prepare for the AP Exam, but also to help prepare for life beyond high school.
All participants in class are expected to be courteous and kind at all times. Following the rules of the school is more about maintaining a safe and enjoyable educational experience than just being obedient. To this end, all students are expected to uphold the standards of CDS at all times.
