The High School Equivalency Program is a test-when-ready program for 16-20 year olds. Students are enrolled through their high school guidance office and attend either a morning or afternoon session. Once a student has met the minimum attendance requirements and demonstrated readiness for the High School Equivalency exam, he or she is referred to the next scheduled exam. Students are instructed in all areas relevant to the High School Equivalency exam. These include reading comprehension in a variety of subject areas, math, and writing. Classes consist of group instruction as well as individualized lessons. Most of the materials used in class are specifically geared to preparation for the High School Equivalency exam. In addition, life skills, college searches, and career exploration are incorporated into the curriculum.
