High School Equivalency

High School Equivalency (HSE)

In California, adults who left high school before graduation have another way to secure a high school equivalency credential. There are two HSE exams, the HiSET and the GED.  

Through testing, you can demonstrate you have the same skills and knowledge as a high school graduate. And doing so can help you create a whole new future. Once you pass the test, California Department of Education will issue you a high school equivalency certificate.

What HSE programs do you offer?

We offer self paced model of instruction. Students attend class weekly to prepare to pass the HiSET.

This class focuses on Reading, Writing, Social Studies, Science, and Math.  In order to be successful in this program, a seventh-grade reading, writing, and math levels are needed.
