AP Psychology is a yearlong course that meets every other day. It is a social studies elective course that counts towards the HOPE GPA. Students will prepare for the national AP Exam given in May of each school year in an attempt to earn college credit.
AP Psychology is designed to introduce students to the systematic and scientific study of the behavior and mental processes of human beings and other animals.

Students have access to a variety of resources for this class. Due to the nature of the AP program, many of these are secure documents. Students will be enrolled in Course Sites (an online learning management system) and most of their course documents and resources will be located in that system.

Most of the class updates and deadlines will be posted by Remind rather than the blog. Parents and students can sign up for Remind by texting @beykeappsych to 81010.
