In 2009, Stanford OHS opened its virtual doors to students in grades 7 & 8 with courses in Science and English specifically designed for intellectually adventurous middle school students. These courses bring topics often reserved for college to middle school students in courses designed specifically for them, like the Philosophy Core courses Human Nature and Society, added in 2014, and Logos, Cosmos, and Doubt, added in 2019 to bring the Core curriculum all the way to seventh grade.
