OLSH students have the opportunity to take session-based AP courses online through the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY), and a generous benefactor has offered to pay half of the tuition for qualified OLSH students!

Any student who qualifies for and wishes to take a session-based online AP course through Johns Hopkins CTY during the 2018-2019 school year must contact Mr. Tim Plocinik at [email protected] by Thursday, August 16.

Courses offered include: AP Biology, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, AP Calculus C, AP Chemistry, AP Chinese Language and Culture, AP Computer Science A, AP English Language & Composition, AP Macroeconomics, AP Microeconomics, AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2, AP Psychology, AP Spanish Language and Culture, AP Spanish Literature and Culture, AP Statistics, AP US Government & Politics, and AP US History.
To ensure timely registration and reimbursement, interested students should complete the following steps:

Inform Mr. Tim Plocinik of the course the student intends to take by Thursday, August 16.
Complete the online registration process by the September 11 deadline.
Go to http://cty.jhu.edu/ctyonline/courses/advanced_placement/index.html.
Click on the course the student plans to take. This will take you to a registration page with important course information, such as:
Course description

Click on “Enroll in this Course”. This page will provide you with information about:
Admissions

Enrollment Process
Click on “Apply Online” (#2 under Enrollment Process). This will take you to a page with additional information about course registration and payment.
At the bottom of the page, click “Continue”. This will take you to the first page of the registration form.
You must make the upfront registration fee payment via credit card
Once the student's registration is complete and they have been accepted into the course, submit your receipt for the registration fee to the OLSH business office for reimbursement. (You will be reimbursed 50% of the registration fee; additional costs, including textbooks, materials, and registration for the AP exam, are the responsibility of the student and their family. For information about tuition and fees, go to http://cty.jhu.edu/ctyonline/tuition/.)
The course starts on September 24.


A few other important points:

Students must meet the qualifications of the Johns Hopkins CTY Program.
Course registration will include uploading documents related to the student's qualifications for the course.
Success in an online course requires staying focused and on top of all assignments, good time management skills, and ongoing communication with the online instructor.
Students may only take session-based AP courses that are not offered at OLSH (exceptions may be made in the case of scheduling conflicts).
To receive credit for the course at OLSH, you must sign a waiver that provides OLSH access to your grades.
The online course grade is not calculated into the student’s QPA.
Students who take a JHU CTY session-based AP online course that replaces a course at OLSH will be assigned to the OLSH Writing and Learning Center (OWL) for that class period, where they can access a laptop and work on their online course.
