AP European History

History

Grade 11

Taught at a more demanding level than European History, Advanced Placement European History is designed for those students wishing to do college-level work in preparation for the AP Examination in May. The course begins with the Renaissance and Reformation and ends in the present, delving deeply along the way into topics like the rise of the nation-state, the Scientific Revolution, the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, the World Wars, and the Cold War. We stress intellectual and cultural history while tracing the political, economic, religious, and social themes through the centuries. Added emphasis is placed on critical reading, writing, and point of view analysis in primary source documents. As in European History, classroom practices and assessments aim to help students understand human history and to impart to them the intellectual virtues they need for historical inquiry into truth, goodness, and beauty.
