<p>I am considering taking some high school courses online next semester.<br>
Where will I find the best programs?
Any recommendations based on personal experience?</p>
<p>I’ve taken them through Northwestern’s [Gifted</a> Learning Links :: Gifted LearningLinks](<a href=“http://www.ctd.northwestern.edu/gll/]Gifted”>Online Programs | Northwestern Center for Talent Development)
I like them, but they’re very expensive.
[CTYOnline</a> | JHU CTY](<a href=“http://cty.jhu.edu/ctyonline/index.html]CTYOnline”>http://cty.jhu.edu/ctyonline/index.html) is similar.
[Online</a> High School and Middle School | The Keystone School](<a href=“http://keystoneschoolonline.com/]Online”>http://keystoneschoolonline.com/) courses are cheaper, but I’m not sure about the quality. When I emailed them they kept assuming I was trying to enroll full-time.
I think you can take courses out-of-state from FLVS.
Stanford EPGY has courses in certain subjects (mostly math).
Or you could just study the subject on your own and take your school’s final. That’s free.</p>
<p>
To take courses here as a high school student, do you have to have already taken the SAT or ACT?</p>
<p>No, but without tests you will need to submit a current report card and two teacher recommendations.</p>

<p>This isn’t a program that you can take for credit on your transcript (as far as I know; I could be wrong) but you should check out MIT Open CourseWare (OCW).</p>
