Our High School Equivalency program offers the opportunity for one to attain their High School Equivalency Certificate (HSEC) with passing scores on the HiSET® test. This certificate is equivalent to a high school diploma. Join our engaging and supportive program where we prioritize individualized academic success.

With open enrollment, flexible scheduling, and personalized instruction, we tailor our approach to meet your unique needs. By successfully passing exams in Writing, Social Studies, Science, Reading, and Math, you can earn a HSEC. Best of all, our program is provided at no cost in Maine!

We offer a high school diploma program for adults. Take classes in a variety of subjects and build your skills as you prepare for your next steps—whether that’s college, a training program, or the modern workforce. At intake, our experienced academic team will review your previous high school transcript(s) to see what credits you already have and determine what you’ll need to complete in order to earn your diploma.
