Curriculum Night 2022 Introductory Video

Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, a regional Governor's school in Northern Virginia, offers seven years of computer science. Our goal is to provide a world class computer science education to our students and to disseminate curriculum materials to other academic institutions.

• CS Information for Rising 9th Graders

• CS Readiness Assessment Information - The readiness assessment is for students who want to take Data Structures as their first Computer Science course at TJ. Students who have already scored a 5 on the AP Computer Science A exam (this is rare) may enroll in Data Structures without also taking the TJ readiness assessment. Interested students may register for the readiness assessment in the spring, and this website will be updated with more information at that time.

  • Update, 2 June 2022, the readiness assessment will be administered at TJ on Thursday, 16 June, at 10:00 AM.  Specific instructions will be added to this page shortly.  If you have a conflict with that date/time then email Dr. Torbert (@email) to discuss alternatives.
