Course Catalog 2024-25
The Stanford OHS curriculum offers advanced coursework in all academic disciplines. As a school we have replaced all of our AP courses with custom courses designed for Stanford OHS students. These courses have been well-received by colleges and universities. Students are able to take AP Exams even if they are enrolled in a different, non-AP course at a comparable level. Students will need to register for and take AP Exams in their local area.
Students enrolled as single course students are not eligible to take a Leadership, Homeroom, or Wellness course as their only course. Single course students may add Homeroom or Wellness in addition to their single academic course. New students enrolled in a single course are not eligible to take the following courses in their first year at Stanford OHS: Poetry, Drawing, Creative Writing, or the following Advanced Topics courses without the writing option: Philosophy, Literature, or Biological Research.
