National External Diploma Program®

The National External Diploma Program is a way for students over 18 to earn an adult high school diploma. NEDP clients work independently online, on their own schedules, to show their knowledge by completing assignments in 10 competency areas instead of taking timed tests. The NEDP is a great option for individuals with test anxiety or learning disabilities that make timed testing difficult, non-native speakers, and anyone interested in entering the military, where a high school diploma is preferred over a GED credential. An excellent candidate is someone who works well independently, has reasonable computer abilities, and has academic skills in reading and math at the 9th-grade level. Region 5 provides clients with academic instruction and designates a staff member to assess the client's work and provide essential feedback as needed.  

Send us your contact information on the "Register For Class" page for more information to see if this program is a good fit for you.
