AP Psychology is an advanced course designed to introduce students to the systematic and scientific study of human behavior and mental processes. This course covers a wide range of topics, including how the brain works, how we learn and remember, what influences our thoughts and emotions, and why we behave the way we do. 

What Students Are Saying About AP Psychology

1. "When it comes to this elective, I really like how it's student-led. Yes, there are lessons in class that are done, but ultimately, it's up to the student to take notes and go at their own learning pace.” “This sort of class can serve as a break from the other classes that can really wear down a person, yet also help that person learn."
   
   

2. "I like how Psychology is tied into other subjects but the coursework isn’t grueling to go through. I feel others should know that although it is an AP course, it is more student-led than teacher."
   
   

3. "One perk of joining Psychology is the activities we do over the course of the week. You get to interact with other classmates and play with objects like Dominoes, Legos, and coloring activities, which help you remember the lesson and key terms while having fun. Furthermore, you get to learn about the brain and behaviors that will shock you."
   
   

4. "I enjoy learning about how the mind functions and connecting that with behavioral processes, development, and even study habits. I would like others to have the opportunity to learn about these different functions to hopefully gain an understanding of why they behave in certain ways, how their environment contributes to their behavior, and any other fun facts/tips relating to psychology (twin studies, nature vs nurture, study habits, child development, etc.)."
