If you are a returning Sophomore or Junior (not yet taking Early College Classes) at the Charles School, please follow this link to let us know which elective course you would prefer to take this year.
Students attending TCS@ODU have the opportunity to graduate with a high school diploma and up to 64 college credits from Ohio Dominican University, the school's college partner. Many of our students might never have had the preparation or resources to consider higher education before enrolling in The Charles School and are often the first in their families to attend college!

Please attend one of the sessions.
The Charles School is welcoming the Graham Expeditionary Middle School (GEMS) to the Brentnell building for the 2010 – 2011 academic year. GEMS is a 6th – 8th grade experiential education program that is being started by the founders of The Graham School and The Charles School. Its innovative curriculum design is the first in the state of Ohio and we are excited to hear of their successes in educating central Ohio middle school students. As you can imagine, starting a school has many hurdles to overcome, not least of which is location. GEMS staff and administration has been working hard in order to find the best possible location for their first year as a school. The administrations of TCS, GEMS, and The Graham Family of Schools have consulted and determined that the Brentnell building brings many opportunities for both programs.
GEMS students and staff will be housed in the south wing of the building, will have a separate entrance, and its own front desk. Additionally, they will have separate hours of operations, lunches, and restrooms. It will require that TCS students and staff work hard to be welcoming and mindful that there will be some changes in room locations for the 2010-2011 academic year only. The GEMS administration is actively seeking its permanent location where it can impact children’s lives long into the future. We are pleased to help them get their start as a school.
Dear Students and Families,
Welcome to the 2010-11 year at The Charles School at Ohio Dominican University. We are delighted that you are part of our learning community.
