Earn your Standard Adult High School Diploma
You can finish your high school diploma no matter when you stopped!
If you can request your transcript from your previous high school, we will determine which classes are required for you to earn your diploma. Our teachers will work with you to assign the coursework that is required. You can also use a combination of GED tests, high school credits or life experiences. When you graduate, you will receive a diploma from a local high school (Tech or Apollo).
At Central Minnesota Adult Basic Education (ABE) we help adults to become fully participating, self-sufficient members of our society. Central MN ABE is a regional partnership between 26 school districts, including St. Cloud Area School District 742. Adult learners in these communities are served at numerous learning sites during daytime and evening class hours throughout the year. Central Minnesota ABE welcomes all adults, 17 or over, who are not currently enrolled in a regular school program.
