Intro to Psychology - Misti Angelo
Introduction to Psychology from a Christian Perspective – Grades 9-12 – Mistie Angelo
Why should your child take Psychology? Psychology is a Social Science, and Social Science courses help create the well-rounded transcript colleges seek. Many college majors require Psychology, and it is good to have a Christian foundation in psychology, particularly before experiencing it at a college (perhaps secular) level.
The curriculum for this class was written by Vicki Tillman MA (a homeschooling mom and practicing licensed professional counselor). This fun and no-busywork text from a Christian worldview helps students to appreciate God’s handiwork and be prepared for career or college settings. This is a one-semester course. Students must have a phone to be able to participate in some of the research-based activities during class.
