SOCIAL STUDIES

AP U.S. Government and Virginia and U.S. Government are both designed to prepare students to become productive and informed citizens.  During the course of the year, students will be exposed to units which cover the institutions of government including Congress, the executive branch and the federal court system.  In addition, students will learn about the political process including voter behavior, political parties, interest groups and the role of the media.  In order to encourage students to actively participate in the American political process, both of these courses also include instruction on their civil liberties and civil rights.
