High School Equivalency (HSE). Those 16 years of age or older who want to improve or gain academic skills may attend classes that teach math, reading, and writing. These classes focus on Language Arts and Math, with supplemental instruction provided in Social Studies, and Science. Classes prepare adult learners to sit for a high school equivalency test such as the General Educational Development GED® test or the High School Equivalency Test HiSET®. Don't like tests? Adults can also earn a high school equivalency credential by demonstrating high school-level skills by completing a portfolio of life and academic tasks. The National External Diploma Program is an independent study program supervised by instructors within our program.
Adults who have an HSE or high school diploma may attend classes for career and workplace development or brush up on basic skills in order to keep or get a better job. Additionally, the Adult Education program provides Spanish-speaking adults classes to sit for the Spanish GED® exam. Students who are under 18 may attend this program with an official withdrawal notice from the public schools.
