High School Diploma Program Anyone who is 17 or older may come to the Academic Achievement Center to take courses for high school credit. Some students may wish to take a course or two and transfer the credit back to their home high school. Approximately fifty courses are offered. Students are strongly encouraged to take diagnostic tests to determine readiness. Students who need instruction have programs of individualized instruction written for them by AAC instructors.
Students work at their own pace.
Instructors determine when students are ready to take any or all of the five GED tests. Scholarships are available if needed. Anyone who scores below the ninth grade reading level is eligible for the Adult Basic Education Program. All ABE students receive free instruction. This program may be used to prepare for the GED program or may be used as a general literacy or ESL program.
