GED/HSED

High School Equivalency Diploma (HSED)

No matter what your age, you can still earn your High School Equivalency Diploma (HSED)! Students 18.5 to almost 70 have followed their dream to get their diploma by taking our HSED classes. Best of all, it’s FREE.

The program prepares students with the knowledge and skills to earn their HSED by creating a collection of work that shows an understanding of each subject. You must be 18.5 or older to enroll and you need to have completed a TABE 11 test. The HSED program, also known as PI 5.09, is taught in a classroom environment, not in a computer lab. Instructors not only teach, but work with students to make sure they truly understand the subject matter.

This highly-structured and intensive program meets four to five days a week, for 16 weeks. Daytime, afternoon, and evening classes are offered.

The curriculum consists of three parts, one for each subject. You can enroll at any time so you can begin class at the start of the topic. Each section is five weeks. The three core subject areas are:

  • Mathematics
  • Language and Communication
  • Pathways (Social Studies, Science, Civics, Health, and Employability)

Classes are held Monday – Thursday, 8:30am – 12:00pm, 1:00pm – 4:30pm, or 5:00pm – 8:30pm.

Eligibility: Must be 18 years and 6 months and older, or the class year the person entered grade 9 in has graduated from high school. Must be a resident of Wisconsin. Must also meet academic and attendance requirements.
