Let's Compare ... Diploma vs. HiSET or GED?
Diploma
Diploma
To receive your diploma through our program, you will need to complete 20 credits which include:
4 English credits
3 Math credits
2 Science credits
2 History credits (must include 1 U.S. History credit)
1 Computer Proficiency credit
1 Career Technical/Job Skills credit
1/2 Capstone Presentation & Portfolio credit
6 1/2 Elective credits (these could easily be more English, Writing, Math or History classes)
PLUS you MUST meet a majority of the CCRS (Career and College Readiness Standards) as set forth by the State of Maine Department of Education.
Some classes are online and some are in-person. All of our classes are small and have less than 5 students per class. We also offer Learning Labs where you can come in to work on your classwork and ask questions and receive help from our instructors as needed.
HiSET or GED
HiSET or GED
The HiSET (High School Equivalency Test), formerly known as GED, is a set of tests in the following subject areas:
English Language Arts, Reading
Social Studies
Science
Math
English Language Arts, Writing
This method may be a better fit for some students, but it is not the best route for every student. We will help you determine which direction you should go during the intake, initial CASAS assessment, meeting with our Academic Advisor and creating your ILP (Individualized Learning Plan).
