ADVANCED PLACEMENT PSYCHOLOGY

TAUGHT BY: Deborah Cruthers

Advanced Placement Psychology offers a summary of all major psychological principles equivalent to an introductory college course in Psychology. Upon passing the AP Exam the student will have completed the requirements for one college level introductory psychology course.

This course is designed to introduce the students to the systematic and scientific study of behaviour and mental processes. Students study psychological content, standards, and phenomena within each major subfield of psychology. They will also learn about the methods of psychologists within their science and practice. Psychological ethics are also explored throughout the course.

This course is taught from a Christian perspective. The instructor will utilize scholarly research in support of that perspective. Issues that do not stand up to a Christian Worldview will be rebutted by Biblical standards through the use of modern science and psychological studies. Some concepts, such as the fundamental structure of the theory of evolution, will be taught in this course due to the nature of the AP Exam; however, students will receive much information on current scientific evidence that contradicts the theory. While this class will not be evangelistic in its content, integration of faith and learning will be discussed on occaison

This course is designed to prepare your student for the AP Exam in May of 2007. While we cannot guarantee passing the exam, we can claim that we have a 100% pass rate by all AP courses taught by Deborah Cruthers since she started last year. This is a two semester course.

Some great thoughts for homeschoolers.

Homeschooling in Action

The majority of parents feel affection for their children, and this sets limits to the harm they do them. But education authorities have no affection for the children concerned; at best, they are actuated by public spirit, which is directed towards the community as a whole, and not merely towards the children; at worst, they are politicians engaged in squabbles for plums
- Bertrand Russell

Homeschooling in Action

To confuse compulsory schooling with equal educational opportunity is like confusing organized religion with spirituality. One does not necessarily lead to the other. Schooling confuses teaching with learning, grade advancement with education, a diploma with competence, and fluency with the ability to say something new. - Wendy Priesnitz

Homeschooling in Action

We are faced with the paradoxical fact that education has become one of the chief obstacles to intelligence and freedom of thought.
- Bertrand Russell
