Review of Introduction to Psychology – Wednesday – Fall 2022 and Winter 2023- 20 Weeks – Grades 10 – 12

My 14 yr old high school freshman took this class. It was extremely well organized with clear cut expectations. Danielle’s style of teaching was collaborative and she really seemed to know each student well. In fact, we had a death in the family in December. Ms. Danielle was incredibly supportive and allowed J to take the final 2 weeks later so it wasn’t in the middle of a funeral and the holidays. J looks forward to taking Sociology next year. I wholeheartedly recommend this class as a robust social science high school credit.
