Adult High School Diploma

A graduation cap, diploma, and tassel symbolize the achievement of completing a degree.

 

Chino Valley Adult School has an online, self-paced High School Diploma Program.  Students work at their own pace.  Teachers are available to help with questions.  

IMPORTANT: Every new student must meet with a counselor and bring official transcripts from the last school where they earned credits before starting classes at our school. 
Enrollment is ongoing.  Call (909) 627-9613 to schedule an appointment with a counselor. Counselors are available Tuesday and Thursday from 4:00-6:00 p.m.

 

To speak to a teacher or report your remote study time, please call (909) 628-1202 x8913.

High School Diploma vs. GED: What’s the Difference?

  • Students seeking a high school diploma need 180 credits in designated subjects.  Students work at their own pace in online learning courses. The tests are not timed, and students are allowed to use their notes.

     

    Students need to provide their high school transcript(s) to our office to determine which classes they will need. If a student went to high school in another country, many times the transcript can be translated, and classes may count toward the student’s credits in the U.S.

  • To earn your GED credential, you must pass the four GED exams in Language Arts, Science, Social Studies and Math.  These exams are offered in English and Spanish. Students prepare for each exam one at a time, and then take that test before moving on to another subject.

  • The GED is a high school equivalency diploma, so you can use it to apply to college or for a job resume, just like you would with a high school diploma. More than 98 percent of schools in the United States accept the GED, including community colleges, universities, and private schools.  Employers also generally view the GED as equal to a high school diploma. 

  • To determine the best path, a student should bring their high school transcript and meet with a counselor. The GED (General Education Development) certificate is a good option for students who need many credits to earn a diploma.

    • Students use an online self-paced learning program and study in our classroom or at home at their convenience.  
    • Teachers monitor student progress and provide tutoring and supplemental study resources as needed. All five of our teachers are credentialed and can help the students with any questions about content they may have.  One of our teachers specializes in math and can provide individualized tutoring in the classroom. Charlie Conaway is available Wednesdays and Thursdays from 5:30-8:30 pm.
    • All our classes are free! 

  • Monday - Thursday: 8:30 a.m. - 8:30 p.m.  

    Friday: 8:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

    In addition, we also have a working partnership with Chaffey College. Students who are enrolled in our HSD or GED programs can take some courses there for free (books, tuition, registration) and some classes earn high school diploma credit as well as college credit.   For information, visit:
