Q. 06..... Will colleges accept a NARS diploma?
Graduates from our school are afforded the same privileges as any other graduate from any other Maine high school.
It bears repeating that our students have gone to every possible type of college and university. We have students at Harvard, at Penn State, at FSU, at local colleges, in technical colleges, virtually everywhere. One NARS graduate is at Julliard, one of our graduates is a National Merit Scholar, and one of our graduates is at West Point.
(Below this short narrative is a list of colleges, universities and schools to which are graduates have been accepted.)
CONSIDER:
It is not the NARS diploma that will get you into college or keep you out of college. YOUR accomplishments will gain you college admissions, or keep you out. The diploma doesn’t apply to college -- the STUDENT applies to college.
To that end, we work carefully to “package” each student’s transcript and records, and to make that “package” as formidable as possible to access the goal. Your goal might be college, the job market, an apprenticeship, or a trade occupation. Whatever it is, we will help the student’s specialty stand out in the “package.”
NOTE: There are three different considerations for college admissions: (1) NARS graduation requirements and (2) the college’s admissions requirements.
(3) The college's requirement for entrance into your chosen MAJOR (area of study). It is the student’s responsibility to know what ALL of these are. When the student tells us what the college’s requirements are, we will work with the student to make that happen. For example if a student is seeking admission to a university for an engineering degree, he or she may need to have four math credits. NARS requires only two math credits, but the university wants the students to have at least four. So, we repeat -- it is the student’s responsibility to know what BOTH institutions require. We will help any way we can.
These are some of the colleges, universities, and schools to which our graduates have been accepted in the past few years. This should offer some idea of the types of students and families who work with us and where our students have gone after high school graduation.
