Mission/Purpose
The Adult High School (AHS) program enables an adult, no longer enrolled in public high school, to complete the required courses and state assessments to earn a standard high school diploma.
The Program
This program strives to motivate students not only to obtain a GED® diploma, but to continue their education to earn a postsecondary degree, certificate, or industry certification. Students in this program participate in four content-area assessments: Reasoning through Language Arts, Mathematics Reasoning, Science, and Social Studies.
The Adult High School Program is designed in accordance with standards established by the state. The program is based on the State of Florida adult education course description and the Florida Standards included in the secondary course description. Students who are enrolled in the program must meet all state and local requirements for graduation unless otherwise noted in F.S. 1003.4828 (7)(b) at leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=1000-1099/1003/Sections/1003.4282.
To obtain a standard adult education diploma a student must earn the standard 24 credits, maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA and successfully complete all required statewide exams (or earn concordant or comparative scores in respective courses) in accordance with State of Florida guidelines. Depending on 18 or 24 credit options, please refer to F.S. 1003.4282 at leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=1000-1099/1003/Sections/1003.4282 or F.S.1002.3105 at leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=1000-1099/1002/Sections/1002.3105.
Program courses may include but are not limited to, traditional lecture instruction, competency and performance-based adult education, distance learning and computer-assisted instruction.
