This program offers path to a high school diploma for students who are at least 17 years old and officially withdrawn from their high school. Students can reside in any town as long as they have reliable transportation.

Most classes are combined with our alternative education classes which include, but are not limited to, Computer Literacy, Creative Writing, English, Health & Nutrition, Personal Finance, Science, and US History.

While our program does not require full time attendance, it should be noted that the fewer classes a student attends per semester, the longer it will take to earn the 22 credits required for graduation.
