Graduate-by-Exam Program TM Ages 16-25

This program is designed to test a student's high school ability. The test is a high school knowledge based exam that covers all subjects taught in a traditional school. Students who qualify are at risk of not completing a high school program and at least 17 years of age.  A 70% or higher must be achieved to earn a high school diploma.

The success rate for this program is very high (95%),partly due to students being aware of test completion limits. It is important for students to know how long a program will take for them to graduate! During the enrollment process academic counseling is done, so all students know their actual graduation date!                                  

Testing that is not monitored is not creditable, not reliable, and is fallible.  To protect the integrity of testing, the validity of student results, and accreditation of our program exams must have a completion date!
