High School Diploma vs. GED

The High School of America offers students a high school diploma and the GED test. Students considering either option should know that there are significant differences between the two.

A high school diploma is an academic credential, whereas the GED® test is designed to measure your level of skill attainment in five areas: reading, writing, math, science, and social studies.

High School of America uses a curriculum that meets or exceeds Kentucky standards for high school education. Our courses are designed to prepare students for success in college, the workplace, or both.

A high school diploma is typically required for entry into many colleges and universities since it denotes that you have met all requirements regarding the coursework necessary to complete high school. The GED® test also includes an examination of civics knowledge which most colleges find valuable in determining the general preparedness of an applicant.
