The Ardmore Regional Center is a collaborative effort among OSSM, high schools within the Southern Oklahoma Technology Center's district and SOTC. The purposes of the OSSM Regional Center are:
To provide advanced educational opportunities for rural high school students talented in math and science who attend one of SOTC's sending high schools.
To allow participating students to maintain their local high school affiliation and extra-curricular participation while living at home.
Calculus:
Students, if accepted, may take a 1 year program (for seniors) or a 2 year program (for excelerated juniors). In the 1 year program, students take AP Calculus BC (equivalent to college Calculus 1 and 2) and eligible to take the AP exam in May. Second year students come back to OSSM Ardmore in the fall and study Multivariable Calulus (equivalent to college Calculus 3 and 4).
