Option 2 for NJ High School Students
Option 2 provides students with the opportunity to earn credits in a more personalized and independent manner, rather than the traditional “in-the-seat” course enrollment option. Option 2 offers alternative paths to high school credits that meet or exceed the New Jersey Student Learning Standards and are based on student interest or career goals.
Who Can Participate?
Mason Gross Arts Online welcomes all NJ residents who are Juniors or Seniors in High School to enroll as non-matriculated Option 2 students. Contact your school district to inquire about the application process.
