Following the College Board AP Guidelines, AP United States History Bootcamp will examine all the historical periods, thinking skills and reasoning processes required to not only get an A in the course, but it will focus on preparing and mastering the AP Exam as well. 

We will preview and examine the historical events that are required for APUSH. We will do the APUSH summer reading which is assigned by each teacher for the Fall.  Students will work together on certain requirements to mimic expectations and assignments that they will be expected to do in the fall.

Students will learn and prepare for the content of the exam as well as how the exam is presented. Included in the Bootcamp is practice exams and grading of writing portions, with suggestions on ways to improve. In the Bootcamp, students will learn the skills to master DBQs and Long Essay Questions.  

Humanities & Writing Program

Duration: 2 hours Monday-Thursday / 3 week program

Most students are proficient in writing for their English courses, as they have had hundreds of instructional hours in it throughout their K-12 education.

However, writing for the humanities, such as history, psychology, philosophy, and others, requires a different set of skills. This program aims to prepare your child to become a strong writer for all their high school and college humanities courses. It is ideal for incoming high school freshmen as it equips them with the skills to achieve As in their courses and get on the Honors/AP track. The set curriculum for this program includes:

  • Developing and following the thematic thread

  • Learning common grade level vocabulary and using it in writing

  • Reviewing common mistakes in MS/HS writing, such as sentence fragments, run-on sentences, and ambiguous modifiers..
