High School Completion Services

Are you ready to earn your high school diploma? Riverside Adult Education provides adult learners with the opportunity to complete their high school diplomas through coursework or by taking the HiSET (high school equivalency exam). Our courses and tutoring services are designed to meet the different needs and learning styles of our students. We do our best to provide school services around your work and family obligations. Our academic services are free to Maine residents! Contact us today and let us help you achieve your academic goals.

All Riverside sites are open and accepting students by appointment.

Site Coordinators:

RSU 22 Beth Soule esoule@rsu22.us

RSU 26 Judy Santos jsantos@rsu26.org

RSU 34 Sue St. Louis sue.stlouis@rsu34.org

These ongoing sessions are completed in our adult learning labs.  Students work on earning missing diploma credits toward their high school diploma.  Credits needed depend on individual transcripts from previous schools attended.  A transcript audit will determine how many credits and which credits are still needed for diploma completion.  Any student graduating from Continuing Education must earn at least 1 credit from our program.

Schedules are designed around individual needs and availability with flexible start times throughout the year. 

• Remote and distance learning options are also available. 
• A formal meeting with the Program Director or Program Services Coordinator is required.
• All Academic students must complete orientation paperwork and assessment testing before being assigned to classes.

If you did not earn your high school diploma, taking the HISET (High School Equivalency Test) earns you an equivalent diploma. You MUST be at least 17 years of age and no longer enrolled in high school.

   There are five sections to the computer-based test: Math, Reading, Writing, Social Studies and Science, and we can help you to prepare and successfully pass all five tests.

 Students are given pre-tests to determine whether or not you are ready to take the actual Official Tests or may need some preparation work.

Students will be given access to HiSET Academy, an online learning platform.  Staff is available to coach students who need assistance with Language Arts-Writing or Math. Please call us for more information at 730-5040 or email Director Marianne Doyle at mdoyle@scarboroughschools.org.
