What’s included in our part-time program?

Students in our part-time program benefit from many of the aspects that make GWUOHS a unique and fulfilling option for our students.

Rigorous College Preparatory Courses

GWUOHS’s part-time offerings provide teens with access to rigorous and research-based courses that help prepare them academically for the challenges of college. With a focus on critical and creative thinking, oral and written communications, and quantitative operations, students develop the essential skills and competencies needed for higher education. Part-time students may take up to three classes per semester.

Flexibility to Pursue College Readiness

Part-time enrollment allows teens to balance their academic pursuits with other commitments, such as extracurricular activities or community involvement. Students can choose from a variety of courses, including AP® courses, honors and comprehensive courses, and electives, enabling them to tailor their education to their college goals and interests.

Supportive and Accessible Teachers

GWUOHS ensures that students can access their teachers through multiple channels, including instant messaging, help desk sessions, and email. This accessibility facilitates academic support and guidance, ensuring students receive personalized attention and assistance when needed. Teachers are dedicated to their students’ successes and are committed to helping them navigate their paths.

Individualized Academic Planning and Advising

Students benefit from regular one-to-one meetings with academic advisors as part of the part-time enrollment option. These meetings cover various aspects of academic performance, time management, study skills, and wellness. Advisors work closely with students to develop personalized academic plans that align with their college aspirations, ensuring they stay on track and maximize their high school experience.

Networking Opportunities and College Preparation Events

GWUOHS offers networking opportunities for part-time students to connect with like-minded peers during live class sessions, clubs, assemblies, and virtual events. Additionally, the school organizes virtual college visits and mental health assemblies, providing valuable exposure to the college application process and supporting students’ overall well-being. By participating in these events, teens can gain insights into college life and build important connections for their future endeavors.

The AP® Excellence Program

GWUOHS proudly offers the AP® Excellence Program for 9th–12th grade students looking to supplement their current education, gain valuable college credits, and intellectually challenge themselves. GWUOHS offers 16 AP® classes in English, history, math, science, and world languages.

The AP® Excellence Program includes support and training on online education. AP® Excellence students receive a comprehensive program overview in a live session directed by their AP® teachers, advisor, and the AP® Coordinator.

Communication and Guidance

Students are each provided an advisor to supplement the AP® teacher’s work. Advisors communicate consistently with students to promote knowledge and skill sets essential for AP® success. Every AP® student and parent/Learning Coach is in contact with the AP® coordinator to ensure registration deadlines and documentation for AP® exams are met.

Credit

Students receive course credit for their work. Middle States Association accredits GWUOHS, and our strong accreditation means credits will transfer to applicable colleges and universities. AP® Excellence students are not eligible for a GWUOHS diploma.

What are the policies & requirements for the part-time program?

GWUOHS part-time enrollment follows the traditional school year. Part-time students can enroll in a maximum of three courses per semester. 

Students receive a transcript at the conclusion of their school term at GWUOHS, signed and stamped by the school registrar, with the option of sending these transcripts to colleges and universities. If a student wishes to substitute GWUOHS course credit for high school graduation requirements, they must seek approval from their current school district before enrollment. Part-time students are not eligible for a GWUOHS diploma, but if the student converts to full-time enrollment, any credits earned from their part-time courses are treated as transferring credits.

What are the tuition & costs for the part-time program?

The GWUOHS part-time program is priced per course and varies depending on whether a student is in middle or high school. Prices may also vary between regular and AP® courses. Tuition includes:

  • Textbooks, workbooks, lab materials (as applicable)
  • Academic advising
  • Extensive, proactive teacher instruction and support
  • Small online classes conducive to meaningful discussion and engagement
  • Clubs and activities
