A high school diploma is essential for unlocking career and education opportunities.
Academy of Hope helps students ages 18+ earn a high school diploma by preparing them for the GED (General Education Development) exam. The GED exam consists of four subject tests in social studies, math, science, and reading. Students in the program work with a teacher in class or online to develop their critical thinking skills and knowledge in all four subject areas. Each subject test can be taken at a certified testing center when the student is ready. The student can take one subject test at a time, as many times as needed.
