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 sample plans of study demonstrate a few of the many paths that full-time OHS students might pursue to earn the OHS diploma. The plans balance appropriate workload with rigor that maximizes the OHS academic experience and prepares students for college. These plans are samples only; students work closely with their Academic Advisors to craft individualized plans that best reflect their interests and academic goals.
