AP Psychology is the study of behavior and mental processes. In this class, we will discuss the influence of hormones and genes, the varying levels of consciousness, the power of persuasion, the fragility of memory, the susceptibility of our senses, and much, much more! 

However, you will not learn how to read minds, nor will you capable of diagnosing yourself nor your family members (as tempting as that may be). Psychology is a science, and science is not perfect. Many of the theories and ideas we discuss have not yet been proven, so it is up to you whether or not you agree with the findings. We encourage all our students to keep an open mind.

Regardless, we will give you all the information we can, following the standards established by College Board. Please review these standards before committing to the course, as some content may be considered controversial and/or contrast with your existing beliefs. If you are uncomfortable discussing sexuality, conception, drug use, different cultural/religious practices, or mental illness, this is not the class for you.
