COLLEGE CREDITS & TRADE CERTIFICATES
Merit Academy's mission is to prepare students to be successful, responsible citizens in a free republic. What does that mean in regards to post-secondary readiness? The whole foundation is our intensive classical education, but the specific career exploration means different things for different students.
For some, this means a career in the military or aviation sciences. For them, we have fantastic and unique opportunities through our Civil Air Patrol and our aviation science programs (See our CAP page for updates).

For other students, this means a career in a trade or in their own entrepreneurial endeavors. For these students, we offer opportunities for trade certificates, vocational college credits, and internships/field work.
​
Finally, students may be considering careers that require a four year or a terminal degree, and for these students, we offer concurrent enrollment college courses, AP courses, and other college prep programs.
