Course Description
AP European History is designed to be a college level course that prepares students for the Advanced Placement Examination in European History and provide students with an in-depth overview of European History from the Renaissance to the very recent past. We will look at this history through several different lenses: political, social, economic and cultural. Students will be expected to have a mastery of the basic chronology and major events and trends from the Renaissance through the modern day. A key feature of the course is extensive instruction in analysis and interpretation of a wide variety of other primary sources, including pictorial and graphic materials such as maps, statistical tables, and works of art.
