AP CLASSES

All Humanities (History/English) courses are taught at the Honors or Advanced Placement level. TCA’s Humanities program focuses on an intensive study of the great writings, people, events, works and ideas that have formed and reformed civilization as we know it.

Normative works of our culture are studied within their historical settings. This helps the students understand how the literary works and the people who wrote them were influenced by their times. It also reveals the universal nature of the great works, which are classics precisely because they somehow speak to all people at all times. The courses are organized chronologically, moving from ancient civilizations to modern times. World history and geography are covered in the freshman and sophomore years, and US history is studied in the junior year. Emphasis is placed upon reading, writing and speaking/listening skills.
