AP PSYCHOLOGY
Why do we do what we do? Why do we fear certain things, follow the crowd, or act differently around others? In AP Psychology, students explore the fascinating science behind human thoughts, feelings, and behaviors—diving deep into the inner workings of the mind.
This university-level course challenges students to examine big questions: How much of who we are is shaped by our genes, and how much is shaped by our experiences? What do dreams actually mean? What causes phobias, and how do we unlearn them? What can twin studies teach us about personality and intelligence? From the way we learn and remember to how we form relationships and navigate social pressure; this course explores the theories and experiments that explain it all.
Students don’t just learn about psychology—they learn to think like psychologists. Using real data and case studies, they investigate, analyze, and debate the forces that shape human behavior. Along the way, they build university-ready skills in scientific reasoning, research analysis, and critical thinking.
Psychology is one of the fastest growing university disciplines. Whether you're aiming for a career in health sciences, education, business, or just want to understand yourself and others better, AP Psychology offers a deeper look at what makes us human—and why that matters. Get ready to question everything you thought you knew about the brain, the body, and behavior.
Students may choose to write the College Board AP exam in May (approx. $130 CAD); strong scores of a 4 or 5 can earn first-year university credit.
