Language
10th grade - Latin l
11th grade - Latin ll
12th grade - Latin lll
I've been taking Latin for the past 3 years. It is known as a "dead" language which means you cannot technically speak it but it's still the root of so many English words. This class has expanded my vocabulary and my skills in the English language. Additionally, we learn about the Romans and Greek mythology throughout all 3 years. It has been so interesting to gain more knowledge about other cultures through this academic experience and I'm so lucky Andover High School offers this course!

Global Courses
9th grade - World History: Global Interaction
In World History: Global Interactions, I examined historical events and themes that occurred in different areas of the world during the time period of early modern world history, approximately 1000 CE-1815 CE. They are asked to think critically as they examine primary sources and undertake historical analysis. They work collaboratively with their peers on short and long-term projects designed to help students understand the significance of key historical events in the development of the early modern world.
10th grade - The Modern World
In The Modern World, I was able to examine historical events and themes that have occurred in different areas of the world in modern times, from approximately 1815 to the present, and are exposed to the historical events preceding and contributing to these events. As I explored different cultures and different time periods, I examined multiple perspectives and used creative approaches to analyze cause and effect.

In AP Psychology I studied how physical and social changes over humans' lifespans can influence behavior and mental processes from a variety of perspectives. I examined how the fundamental basis of psychology is true for all people and all cultures. Our community, childhood, relationships, culture, etc. have an impact on our behavior and personality.

This class will help me further my understanding of the world through a global lens.
