History and Social Sciences
CTY’s Online history and social science courses challenge and inspire younger students who are interested in world history and geography. For older students, our rigorous courses in economics, U.S. history and government, world history, and psychology cover material typically found in an introductory college-level course. In these courses, expert instructors connect with students through virtual classroom lectures, live discussions, and interactive review workshops.
The Advanced Placement courses prepare students to take the corresponding AP exam and seek college credit and/or placement. They are ideal for students seeking a preview of an upcoming AP course in school or who want to take additional AP courses outside of school. The AP courses have been reviewed by the College Board and are authorized to use its "AP" designation.
