World History Advanced Placement (WHAP) Home Page

Bingham gazes upon the fallen bodies of students who failed to make enough effort!

Will will be using a  text that matches recent changes to the College Board curriculum. Make sure you purchase the 4th edition, since 1200

It would be a great idea to start reading, you know, chapter 1?

If the cost of this book will make for a burden on your family, please message me on the contact form on this site. A limited number of copies are available to check out.

WHAP or not to WHAP?

That IS the question. This is a decision for you, not your parents. There are no half-hearted WHAP students, they either engage fully, or they drop. Read the former student's advice below, and then make up your mind. This isn't about how smart you are, it's about how hard you will work!
