GED Program

Everybody’s educational journey is unique. For many, their high school experience was cut short for any number of reasons, and they went on to earn their GED equivalency certificate. The GED can empower students to then move on and pursue a degree or diploma. In fact, over 20 million people have passed the GED test and earned their high school diploma!
