How does the program work?

Learners apply to enroll and are accepted to the AGS. Once accepted, they work with our guidance counselor and administration to select and enroll in courses. Courses are asynchronous; learners do not have to log into their course on a specific day or at a specific time but learners must work on daily assignment and join weekly 1-1 meeting with their mentor. All classes are conducted entirely online.
