Lesson 1: Introduction to World History Project APWelcome to World History Project AP
World history includes a lot of names, places, dates, events, and all kinds of other stuff. Historians use different tools to organize their narratives and make sense of all the complexity. The AP® World History course uses six themes to help guide students through the 800 years from 1200 to the present. Organizing past events into themes can help group different events together so we can tell what changed, helping us make comparisons and connections between different regions and time periods. This video introduces the six themes and shows students some tricks for decoding AP exam questions.

Hello, I'd like to know if the courses on khan counts towards high-school credit or not. Please get back to this when possible. Thank you.(3 votes)- No, khan academy is not an accredited high school. However, these courses are identical to their AP versions. You can use this website to study, then take the AP exam in May (visit College Board's website to schedule), and get college credit. Speak with your high school counselor if you are concerned with getting high school credit for an AP class.(0 votes)

Khan Academy is a resource and does not provide any credit for high-school or college coursework. You may consider taking the AP exam, which can give high-school and college credit, but that depends on the institution's policy.(1 vote)
