Psychology I and II Psychology I and II are semester courses.  Students must take Psychology I before they take Psychology II unless they have done this elsewhere.

These courses are an introduction to the study of human thought, feeling, and behavior.  The courses will survey major areas in the field of psychology including biological contributions to behavior, child development, learning, memory, personality, psychological disorders, and social psychology.   This will taught from a Christian World View and resources added to help students understand God’s perspective on these topics.

While this is not an Advanced Placement Course if a student takes Psychology I and Psychology II and elects to participate in the honors component of the class, they can choose to sit for the AP Exam in Psychology.  Students who indicate an interest in taking the AP Exam in Psychology will receive additional instructions as to how and when to accomplish this goal.  They will also be directed to resources to help them study and to take a practice test.
