Argosy Collegiate Charter School is proud to offer the SouthCoast’s only wall-to-wall Early College Program, providing every scholar the opportunity to earn free college credits, starting as early as 9th grade, with the potential to complete a Liberal Arts–Humanities Associate’s Degree by high school graduation. Through strong partnerships with Bristol Community College and UMass Dartmouth, scholars take college credit-bearing courses that count toward both high school and college requirements. Many of these credits may be eligible for transfer to public and private colleges across Massachusetts and beyond, helping families save significantly on the overall cost of a college degree. Scholars also benefit from on-campus experiences that prepare them for life after high school and build confidence in college settings.
The Department of Early College and Career Development also offers all Argosy Collegiate Charter School scholars a variety of guidance and support services throughout their high school and early college years, including:
- One-on-one Course Planning
- College and Career Counseling
- College Application Assistance
- Financial Aid Application Assistance

- Assistance with Job Shadowing and Internship Opportunities
- Academic Support
