Q. What is the tuition?
A. Please check the course catalog and registration system. The basic structure is as follows: Courses for 3-week courses are usually $140. That would be $280 for 6 weeks in most cases.
Q. Did tuition Increase?
A. Argo established the $140 tuition in 2015. We have not increased tuition since 2015. However, because of Covid and grant money that was provided by the federal government, we were able to subsidize the tuition in 2021, 2022, and 2023. Since we no longer have that grant money, Argo is charging the full tuition this year.
Q. What if I register for a course and then find out I don't need it?

Q. Can students have cell phones?
A. Phones are not allowed in the summer school classrooms. We encourage students not to have them. We have phone bags in classroom that students must store their phones. Phones are NOT allowed in the classroom unless stored in a phone bag. We are committed to providing students 4.5 hours of focus, without smart phone distractions. We also seek to protect the integrity of student academic work.
Q. What happens if I need to be absent?
A. First, be sure to call the attendance hotline and let us know you will be absent. Second, remember that we allow only 1 absence. A student will lose credit on the 2nd absence. We have reduced the hours of seat time. Therefore, students need to be at school every day.
