High School Equivalency

This program is tailor made for students who did not graduate from high school and are seeking the Arizona High School Equivalency Diploma. There are three options available so students can choose the path that works best for their individual needs.

GED® Tests
The GED® Test Pathway requires that the student pass five GED® sub-tests including Reasoning through Language Arts (RLA), Math, Social Studies, Science, and the Arizona Civics Exam. Through our program, students will receive instruction targeted toward areas specifically covered in each GED® sub-test.

College Credit
The College Credit Pathway offers students who are ready for college to earn their High School Equivalency Diploma by taking and passing 25 credit hours worth of specific college courses and passing the Arizona Civics Test. For more information about College Credit view the AZED College Credit Pathway (PDF).

Adult Basic Education

This program is similar to the High School Equivalency Program except that it is for students who have graduated from High School but may need additional instruction in a particular area in order to move forward on their career or academic path. Through our evaluation tool, we work with students to determine placement in our leveled math or reading classes where teachers and students work as partners to achieve results.
