Online High School

Be a part of a global high school!

The Stanford Online High School (OHS) is an independent school for academically talented and motivated students in grades 7 – 12. Our online instruction includes live, synchronous seminars on a college-style class schedule, which encourages independence, discipline, and strong time-management skills. The varied needs, interests, and exceptional talents of our students are accommodated by the flexibility of Stanford OHS enrollment options, which include full-time, part-time, and single course enrollment. Students are supported by counselors, college counselors and academic advisors. Beyond the online classroom, students engage in a rich array of extra-curricular student-led clubs, homeroom, and assemblies. A two-week intensive residential summer program at Stanford University presents students with further opportunity to connect with each other and their instructors.

The Stanford University Online High School’s mission is to create a worldwide learning community of diverse, intellectually passionate students and teachers. Through vibrant seminars, the rigorous curriculum challenges students to reason analytically, think creatively, and argue critically. Beyond the classroom, collaborative extra-curricular activities cultivate lasting relationships among students and teachers. The School’s supportive environment fosters independence, strength of character, and a lifelong pursuit of knowledge.
