swimmermom3 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Has anyone taken the AP European History course through PA Homeschoolers? If so, at what age and with what kind of overall class load? Would it be reasonable with: Adv. Algebra II Chemistry Spanish II Great Books Study (Medieval) and possibly an elective?

Kareni Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I'll bump your post even though my daughter did not do AP European History at all. In 10th grade she did the following as out of the home classes: AP United States History College Prep Essay Writing and Middle English Literature Latin 3 and electives of Yearbook, Debate, and Swing Dancing. At home, she did Algebra 2 and Chemistry with lab. Your son's load looks doable to me even with an elective. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen in VA Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Whether or not AP Euro is doable depends completely on your daughter! PAH's AP Euro does look quite time-intensive. I would get your daughter's opinion on this. How much does she want to work? Does she REALLY want to take a hefty course load? Is she gung-ho about history? Basically, if she's psyched, she will handle the courseload. If she isn't, she could have problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nissi Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 It would tie in nicely with the medieval great books study she is doing. Ds. did AP Euro in 10th grade after he finished with Omnibus II and did well with a similar course load. He is a history buff though and loved all his readings.

Luckymama Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I'm currently taking AP European History with PA Homeschoolers. It's definitely a difficult class with a hefty workload - lots of dry textbook reading each week and two to three essays a month. I usually spend about two hours on it, four days a week, and I'm taking it with Physics, AP English Lang, Precalculus, and Computer Science, as a sophomore. That seems like a reasonable workload for an AP history class (speaking as the mother of two who have gone through different AP histories).

Your information helps. Are you satisfied with the class? Do you feel as though you have been exposed to some thought-provoking information or is it a get-it-done and get-on-to-the-test kind of class for you? I think what I am asking is would this be your ideal way to study history if you didn't need to think about testing and college credits?
