Our GED program provides students with the opportunity to earn a credential that is recognized as equivalent to a high school diploma by most community colleges, the U.S. military, and many employers. To obtain the GED, students must pass four subject tests: Reasoning through Language Arts (RLA), Math, Science, and Social Studies. This credential demonstrates resilience and readiness for college or a career, and it can often be completed more quickly than a traditional high school diploma, depending on prior credits and preparation. We offer two pathways for earning a GED.
