Diploma/High School Learning Center (HSLC):

If you have at least 100 applicable high school credits and place high enough on the Reading Assessment, you will be recommended for our High School Learning Center program. To earn a diploma at F.A.C.E., students need a total of 140 credits in the subject areas listed below. Based on the credits still needed for a diploma, you will be assigned an online class to start completing your high school credits. You will need to complete work online regularly (at least 5 hours per week), come to campus to take your unit/final exams, and take follow-up assessments throughout the year in order to track your progress towards earning your high school diploma.

GED Test Preparation:

If you have less than 100 applicable high school credits and place high enough on the Reading Assessment, you will be recommended for our GED Test Preparation Class. In this program you will focus on studying to pass the GED exams in Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, and Science. You will need to complete work online regularly (at least 5 hours per week) and take follow-up assessments throughout the year in order to track the progress towards preparing to take your GED Exams. Once you are prepared for the exams, you can register to take them through GED.com.

Adult Basic Education:

If a student's Reading Assessment score shows the need for basic skills improvement, you will be enrolled in our Adult Basic Education class. This class will help you improve basic reading, writing, and math skills to better prepare you for success in the High School Diploma or GED Test Prep programs. You will need to complete work in-person or online regularly (at least 5 hours per week) and take follow-up assessments throughout the year in order to track the improvements in your skills. Once the follow-up assessments show enough improvement, you will be moved into the High School Diploma or GED Test Prep programs.
