Sample Courses of Study

Five classes per term is considered a full-time course load at the Online High School, although students may occasionally take more than five courses. The following examples show courses of study that a full-time student at the OHS might pursue. The first chart shows courses that might be selected by students interested in focusing on the Humanities, the second courses that might be selected by students interested in focusing on Mathematics and the Natural Sciences, and the third courses that might be selected by students interested in advanced work in Mathematics.
