Option One: 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!

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

This program is self-paced and will continue throughout the school year, though summer hours, especially in July, are reduced.

Open Enrollment

The HiSET is a series of five tests: reading, writing, math, science and social studies. Passing all five tests shows that you have the skills and knowledge expected of high school graduates. Your HiSET degree will open doors for work and college. 

Meet with a student adviser and plan for classes or tutoring to prepare for the tests. HiSET is a self-paced option to earning your high school credential. 

HiSET classes are small group or 1:1 tutoring to help you prepare for the test success. Build essential academic skills while learning invaluable test taking tips.
