The Adult High School
Diploma Program offered by Colorado State Academy is designed to
allow the student to complete their school as rapidly as possible and still
provide a diploma that is accredited and recognized as a completed high school
program of studies. This is a testing program whereby the student will receive
a grade and a credit for each test they successfully pass. We combine the high
school credits the student has earned in previous schools with the class tests
they pass with us to give a total number of high school credits and a grade
point average (GPA). The entire process is online allowing maximum privacy for
you to complete your diploma.
When a student starts with
us, they are given an Adult Study Guide that contains all the
information needed to successfully pass the exams they will take. There are
tests in six (6) subject areas: Grammar, Reading, Basic Math, Government,
Economics and Science. In Reading there are three sub-tests that count as one
total grade. In addition to the tests, students are given credit for work
experience and physical exercise. We also require students to earn a half
credit in Career Development. We even ask that students attend church regularly
and give a credit for that. In this manner, students will earn up to a total of
nine credits beyond what they already have from their previous school.
Once completed, each student
will receive an official high school diploma mounted in a frame for
display on a wall and a copy of the official transcript of grades. In
addition, official transcripts will be sent to colleges, prospective employers
or the military, without charge, to the student for the first two years after
graduation.
Remember, our goal is your graduation!
This excellent affirmative program is for students & or adults who
have dropped out of traditional schools or are only a few credits short of
earning their diplomas.
Students enroll in this course which will allow them to study for and take the
final exam in six (6) classes. Using the six credits here and adding them to
the credits already earned at their previous school, students will receive
their diploma from this school.
Credit is also given for work experience, home making and military experience.
Persons who meet the following criteria will be allowed to enroll in this
program:
1. Students must be at least 17 years of age.
2. Students must be in their senior year or beyond.
3. Seniors my be as young as 16 years but must be short
credits to graduate during the current year.
4. Students must provide school records which
verify school credits, a work history to verify work experience, verify homemaking
experience with rent history and family history, and verify military experience
with a copy of discharge papers.
5. Students must pass the final exams with 70% or
better.
6. Persons with a GED can present their GED records and
upgrade to a high school diploma. GED test scores will be counted as 1 credit
for each test, maximum 5 credits.
7. The requirements for I credit in Bible Study, Health
and Economics may be waived for students taking part in this process.
Students wanting the Diploma by Test must have all records presented and all
tuition paid before the test will be sent.
Failure on any test will require students to take the test a second time with a
reduction of 5% on the final score. The test may be taken a third time but an
additional charge of $50 will be assessed.
