Course List by Grade

CTYOnline courses are designed to enrich and accelerated academically gifted students in the areas where they show the strongest abilities. The appropriate course depends on the student's previous education background and not necessarily on age or grade. Students choose courses that are often well above their own grade level but appropriate for their ability. For more advice, visit Choosing a course.

To be eligible to take courses in writing, language arts, humanities, or social science, students must achieve qualifying verbal scores in the appropriate above-grade level test. To be eligible to take courses in math, science, or computer science, students must achieve qualifying math scores in the appropriate above-grade level test. Students who have qualifying math or verbal scores are eligible to take foreign language, web design, JavaScript, or music courses.
