Independent Study
Independent study projects may earn a student one-quarter to one full credit in any discipline. Students signing up for Independent Study must prepare a contract with the supervising teacher and have that contract approved by the Curriculum Committee. Application for independent projects must be submitted the semester before the project is to take place.

 

Advanced Placement
OES offers Advanced Placement courses in nine subjects: French Language and Literature, Spanish Language and Literature, Calculus AB and BC, Statistics (offered in alternate years), Computer Science AB and US History. Of these courses, Calculus AB and BC, Statistics, Computer Science III (AB), and US History require the exam. Many OES students take the English Language and English Literature examinations with good success, even though English classes are not designated as AP.
If students are not enrolled in AP classes and wish to take the exams, they need to secure the approval of the chairs of the appropriate departments. If they desire to take AP exams in subjects for which there is no OES department, they will need to secure the approval of the Academic Dean.
