Please note that there is no required summer work for AP World History Modern or for AP Human Geography.

The best way to prepare for these courses is to stay up to date on current events by reading or watching the news.  While AP is not a current events course, being aware of current issues will allow you to come to class ready to apply what is going on in your community - be it local, national, or global - to the course. As a result, the course is made richer by you bringing your experiences and perspectives into the classroom. 

I so look forward to seeing you in the Fall and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out at mossm@gcsnc.com. Please stay safe and enjoy your summer!
