GED Program
The GED, also known as the General Educational Development certificate is a high school completion credential available to people 16 or older who have not graduated from high school. The GED is obtained by passing each of the 5 tests. The tests can be taken separately at different times. The cost in Vermont is $12 for each test.

Alternate Diploma Program
In cooperation with the Vermont Department of Education , provides adults the opportunity to earn a high school diploma from their local school by completing a portfolio of projects demonstrating skills that meet state education standards.  The projects can include earning credit for a strong work history, planning for employment or college, and completing a research paper.  Students have choices of projects used to demonstrate some standards.  The program is free of charge to Vermont adults aged 18 and older.  To learn more, call your local Adult Education and Literacy Center or 1-800-322-4004.

High School Completion Program
For Vermonters age 16-21 who are not enrolled in school, Act 176 authorizes high schools to join forces with Learning Works and youth who have left school to create individualized graduation plans. These plans can include a wide range of education and training experiences, counseling and health services, and innovative community partnerships. There is no cost to the student.
