I need to tackle calculus before senior year but my school doesn't offer it. Has anyone successfully completed an online calculus class that counted for high school credit? How do you ensure the online course is rigorous and recognized by colleges?
Absolutely, there are a number of accredited online calculus courses you can take for high school credit. I recommend looking into programs such as Johns Hopkins CTY (Center for Talented Youth) or Stanford University's EPGY (Education Program for Gifted Youth) which offer accredited, challenging calculus courses.
Before enrolling, ensure that the credits will transfer to your high school by speaking with your school counselor or academic advisor. They'll verify the accreditation of the program and explain the process of credit transfer. Additionally, these courses are often recognized by colleges for their rigor. Good luck with your studies!
