AP Art History
-
2026-2027

AP Art History is a college-level art history survey course focusing on art from all areas of the globe and all periods from prehistory to the present. Students will learn to analyze, interpret, and think critically about art and its historical and social contexts. These skills will be practiced through frequent reading and writing assignments. Our studies will be oriented around 250 core works of art, consonant with college faculty expectations of what students should be familiar with.

Beyond the expectations for the AP exam, this course is designed to get students excited about art and to foster an appreciation of art from all over the globe! We will ask questions about what art is, what art means, and why humans make it. Throughout the year, students will get the chance to study art that speaks to them personally, and to develop their own interpretations and arguments. The history of art is the history of the human experience, and all the historical and cultural contexts that shape it.

AP English Literature
-
2026-2027

This section of AP® English Literature is designed to be highly interactive and engaging. My goal is not only to prepare you to excel on the AP® exam, but to give you writing, research, and analytical skills that will serve you into your college years and beyond.  

We will deeply explore multiple genres including novels, drama, poetry, short fiction, and literary criticism. In studying these different genres, we will practice a wide range of analytical tools and how to apply them. Our analytical approach will operate on multiple levels, encompassing both the “bird’s eye view” (conducting historical, political, and social research) as well as a more granular approach, examining sentence structure, diction, symbolism, imagery, and so much more.


Our classes develop a community of scholars who interact through class postings, course-related projects and games, responding to one another's work, discussions, and much more. For student perspectives on our classes, watch these AP Student Panel Zoom sessions:
