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
• Computer Science (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. 
  • The 2024 CS Readiness Assessment will be given on May 18th at TJ at 10:00am. The test will take 2 hours and 30 minutes. Please meet in the Dome of TJ at 9:45am.
  • Those interested in taking the assessment should complete the CS Readiness Test Verification Form by May 15th. 
  • As part of your request, you will need to submit the following Sample Program for the CS Readiness Assessment. Please make sure to carefully follow all instructions.
  • On the day of the assessment, please bring the completed CS Readiness Assessment Parental Verification.
  • If you pass the Readiness Assessment, you should complete the Java exercises in CodingBat and be prepared to show your Data Structures teacher the work on the first day of class.  
  • Any questions, please email Math/CS assistant division leader, JeanMarie Stewart, at @email.
