The courses selected should be a logical extension of previous work and fill a semester' s program of accomplishment. Parents purchase the desired books and program directly. The costs are quite reasonable, yet vary depending on the number of courses and the provider selected. This assures appropriate individual curriculum, as well as a chance to review the materials before packing them in the sea bag to bring aboard. With the guidance of Argo Academy's professional staff and teachers, shipmates receive the supervision and support necessary to successfully complete the chosen program.
Students progress at their own pace.
Verification and scores are mailed on completion of each course. In addition to the academic work, Argo Academy credits are issued for navigational science, physical education, seamanship, marine mechanics and public service projects. Credits are transferable to any other high school, and graduates apply directly to colleges and universities with the transcripts provided. If you already have another school or college in mind which you would like to attend after Argo Academy, it is advised that you contact their admissions department to ensure that your chosen curriculum will meet their requirements. Most schools are familiar with the transcripts from the distance learning institutions listed.
