In AP® World History, students participate in critical analysis from a Christian worldview, from the beginning of human interaction and the separation of nations after the tower of Babel to present-day political and social issues. Each module investigates a specific theme and time period and explores ways in which God directly guided many of those events, even as man rebelled against Him. Students collaboratively discuss specific issues in history, analyzing them from both biblical and secular viewpoints. They analyze primary and secondary documents—in addition to other quantitative, cartographical, and artistic sources—to understand and support specific viewpoints of history and to differentiate issues from one region of the world to the other. At the end of each module, students make connections with the themes of the course and have opportunities to practice answering multiple-choice and essay questions in AP® format.
