AP Environmental Science 12
Want to get started in APES? Here's a sample of what to expect in terms of a major essay assignment. Remember, you will be helped in writing this, and shown how to do so successfully.
Since this is a Science course, there will be lab work too, and you will be mentored in your work to learn (and achieve!) at a college or university level. Hard work pays off... if you get a high enough mark on the AP Exam, it's possible to earn first-year university credit while in high school!
"The Tragedy of the Commons" by Garrett Hardin can be accessed in the link below.

Website outlining the entire course
University of California College Prep AP Environmental Science - they use a different text than we do, but this excellent website covers the required content of the course very well.
