COURSE OFFERINGS - OCSA offers 23 AP classes and 7 honors level courses. Most AP and honors courses have pre-requisites, so please refer to the Curriculum Handbook when determining courses for the upcoming school year. If a student does not meet the prerequisites for a course and still wants to take the class, the student may meet with a school counselor to discuss a plan and complete an AP/Honors course waiver form that may enable an opportunity to take the course.

Some AP and honors courses have summer assignments; all summer assignment information for the current year can be found by clicking on the button below.

OCSA Counselors recommend that all sophomores (grade 10) and juniors (grade 11) take the practice ACT (PreACT) and SAT (PSAT) exams in order to identify which one they prefer and/or perform better on. These exams are ONLY offered to students in grades 10 and 11.

OCSA will offer the PreACT on Saturday, September 26, 2026 and the PSAT on Saturday, October 17, 2026. Score reports from these exams are available to students in January. To register for one of these practice tests at OCSA, please register on MySchoolBucks.

OCSA Counselors recommend that all Grade 11 students take their first “real” test of their choice (ACT or SAT) during the spring of their junior year. This gives them the most time and exposure to their academic curriculum and also gives them time to get their scores back before going into senior year. Please note, the last time to sit for either the ACT or SAT is the December test date of senior year.

To register for an official ACT or SAT (off-campus), please visit the official testing websites using the buttons below. *Please note, OCSA is not a testing site for the official ACT or SAT.

OCSA Counselors recommend that students take the AP exam(s) in May for any AP course(s) that they have completed at OCSA. All students enrolled in an AP class at OCSA are eligible to take the corresponding AP exam. Students can take exams for courses in which they are not enrolled. However, an exam cannot be taken at OCSA if the course is not offered or if the student does not meet OCSA’s prerequisites for the course.
