Whether preparing for the HiSET exam, earning credits toward an adult education diploma, or preparing for college and a career, students will learn the fundamentals of writing, reading, and mechanics.  Classes are done at the student's pace, with targeted instruction.  Multiple texts will be used, with a variety of reading selections.  Students work in a "lab" like setting, focusing on individual work with help from the instructor.  This is intended for all levels of learners.

We have two high school completion options for students in the Mt. Desert Island region:

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!

Please note that you should live within our area of Mt. Desert Island so that you can attend in-person sessions when required or desired.

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