With small class sizes and an individualized approach to learning, Maranacook Adult and Community Education offers adult students the perfect learning environment to achieve success! The High School Equivalency Test (HiSET) is now being administered in adult education programs across the state of Maine. The HiSET consists of the following five subtests: Language Arts Reading, Language Arts Writing, Science, Social Studies, and Mathematics.

Local adult education programs provide HiSET testing, preparation materials, pre-tests, and instruction, all at no cost to the learner.

To learn more about our High School Diploma program, please call our Director, Steve Vose, at 685-4923 x1009 for more information.

The course focus is on developing reading and writing skills. You will learn to identify and correct common writing errors, and learn helpful techniques to get your ideas down on paper. We will read short stories, a novel, opinion essays and non-fiction articles. The class will benefit students preparing for the HiSET or college and credit recovery students needing English credits for their high school diploma.

We have two high school completion options:

Option One: Students who only need a handful of credits to complete their diploma as can do so through MDI Adult Education. Credits can be earned remotely though an intake and pre-assessment are required. Contact us!

Option Two: Students who successfully complete the HiSET® (think: GED®) will be awarded a High School Equivalency Diploma which affords the student the same rights and privileges as a credit-bearing diploma. A preparation plan can be done remotely under teacher guidance though an intake, pre-assessments, and practice tests are required. Contact us!

 Our program is available to area residents (Hancock County ME).
