Help your student excel in critical thinking, writing, and college-level literary analysis with this engaging year-long AP English Literature and Composition course. Designed to mirror an introductory college literature course, this class challenges students to explore classic and contemporary works—novels, plays, poems, and short stories—from a wide range of time periods and cultures.

Through daily reading and writing activities, students sharpen their analytical and interpretive skills while developing a strong literary vocabulary and a deep understanding of literary devices and techniques. Interactive lessons, multimedia resources, and blog like discussions help make complex texts accessible and engaging. Students learn to think critically about what they read and how authors convey meaning—skills that are essential not just for the AP exam, but for success in college and beyond.

This course emphasizes close reading, thematic analysis, and structured academic writing, primarily in the form of analytical essays. It prepares students thoroughly for the AP English Literature and Composition exam and provides an excellent foundation for future study in literature, journalism, communications, creative writing, and other humanities fields.

Access to this AP course is outside of our usual learning management system. Instructions for access will be sent to the support email after enrollment is processed.
