Grades 9-12 Programs


Assessment Students in grade 9 are invited to take the SAT®


or ACT® , through


Northwestern University’s Midwest Academic Talent Search (NUMATS), which are the same tests typically taken by juniors and seniors to measure college and career readiness. When given to high-achieving students early (above-grade-level), these tests help inform course choices in preparation for college, help educators pinpoint what students are ready to learn now, and help make a case for accelerated placement. When applying for CTD accelerated courses, above-grade-level assessment is the preferred tool for determining eligibility. For more information, see the CTD Assessment web pages.

Hybrid Courses


Hybrid courses combine flexible and in-depth online learning with face-to-face experiences at select sites. Students engage in hands-on learning and work side by side with other bright, motivated students. They combine in-depth online study of complex contemporary issues with on-site service-learning experiences, which allow students to study topics up close and help make a positive difference through guided service experiences. Hybrid courses incorporate 1 to 2 weekend intensive experiences on Northwestern University’s Evanston campus or off-campus sites with unique resources relevant to course topic. For more information, please visit ctd.northwestern.edu/hybrid.
