This program is for self-directed adults who are more comfortable demonstrating their skills in practical ways rather than taking traditional tests. It appeals to those who prefer individualized learning and who want confidentiality. Fairfax County residents over 21 years of age may earn a high school diploma by demonstrating specific skills learned through life experiences.
Clients demonstrate reading, writing, and math skills and complete five take-home projects.
Graduates need to pass the Virginia Literacy Passport Test. Interested applicants must attend a free information session. Clients attend appointments on a weekly basis with flexible scheduling.
