Stanford University’s Online High School
Apr 8th, 2008
A surprising number of brick-and-mortar universities are creating Online High School programs. One of the most impressive is Stanford University's Education Program for Gifted Youth (EPGY).
EPGY Online High School is designed for exceptionally gifted students. The program can be completed in just three years and requires students to take three writing-intensive core classes as well as several advanced placement (AP) courses.
It seems like an amazing program – but, it comes with a hefty price tag and admissions standards to match. Full time students pay a whopping $13,000 for tuition every year. And, the application packet is an intimidating 23-pages long. Admissions and tuition resemble what you'd expect when applying to an ivy league college, not an online high school.
