Captain Shreve High School             Home of the Gators!

A student may take one or more correspondence courses through LSU-Baton Rouge, with permission of the counselor and the administration. Each semester of a course consists of approximately twelve lessons and two examinations. The exams are administered under a counselor's supervision. The minimum time required for one semester's course (½ credit) is two months; maximum time allowed is nine months. The cost of $70.00 per semester does not include books, which must be purchased separately from bookstores in Baton Rouge. The counselors have registration materials.

A correspondence course may be begun at any time during the year, but students who wish to complete a course in time for graduation must register by mid-January of their graduation year. The course must be completed and the grade reported to Captain Shreve by graduation day for the student to participate in the ceremony.

Correspondence courses require a great deal of self-discipline and are very time consuming. In general, summer school is recommended over a correspondence course.
