THE PROGRAM Missouri Academy students must complete the following coursework to graduate:
CERTIFICATES At the end of the two year program, graduating students will receive an Associate of Sciences degree, as well as a high school diploma. The Academy has two options regarding high school diplomas. A student may choose to remain on the rolls of his or her sending high school, and receive a diploma from them. A student may also opt to sever ties with his or her sending school and receive a diploma from the Academy itself, which is recognized as a high school by the State of Missouri. PHILOSOPHY The Missouri Academy follows a dual strategy in student development. It seeks to prepare students both academically and socially to participate in science, math, and technology programs throughout the country. It has met with some success, though a large portion of Academy graduates remain in Missouri and attend University Of Missouri - Rolla , University Of Missouri - Columbia , or Truman State University . The Academy also attempts to imbue the ideals of Integrity and Quality in its students. This has led to fierce reactions amongst students, who will often argue that the Academy is attempting to enforce an arbitrary morality. As a result, this half of the strategy takes a somewhat nominal role in student life, and is generally disregarded. FAMOUS GRADUATES EXTERNAL LINKS
