Social Studies

Along with history, my passion for politics has grown over the last few years as I've taught AP Comparative Government and Politics. This is fascinating class, and I'm thrilled to combine it with AP United States Government and Politics this year.

We will also be offering a Social Studies elective in 2019-2020: AP Psychology. I took AP Psych in high school and it was one of the most influential classes I've ever taken. Throughout the year, we will study many aspects of the mind, from brain biology to behavior, and from memory to mental disorders. I am so excited to bring this course to VSAA.

Social Studies at VSAA runs on a two year rotation: for the 2018-2019 year, we offer United States and AP United States History. Next year (2019-2020), we will offer Contemporary World Problems (CWP) and AP Government and Politics (United States and Comparative). AP Psychology will be offered yearly as an elective.
