Just curious, how did he get access while in high school? Lots of Universities don't allow access to people unless they are already affiliated with the program, or higher-ed faculty.
Also, you mentioned that the Hopkins prof had suggested starting your son with 5000-level courses (mixed grad/undergrad level) in Classics.
Purely nosy on my part -- I take it between the homeschool and Catholic high school he has mastered Latin and/or Greek?
Cheers!
I think that the University of Maryland permits the general public to use their libraries.

He does pretty well with them. He taught himself the equivalent of high school Latin I in sixth and seventh grade. We gave him a couple of texts and Rosetta Stone, and he was on his own. In 8th grade, the high school he currently attends invited him to come take Latin II, to see if he liked the school. He went, took Latin II, got the highest grade in the class, and loved the school. So he was through AP Latin by sophomore year, and the Latin and Greek teachers have been doing independent study with him since. He took Latin VI for the National Latin Exam this year.
He started with Greek I as a freshman, and since there's nothing past Greek III at his school, again, he's doing independent study.
He's good with languages.
