General Diploma Program
Students preparing for vocational or technical school, work, military or other non-college plans may wish to consider the Independent Study High School’s general diploma program. In general, the student is free to select from different course offerings except for some required courses.
The courses in the general sequence focus on preparation for the world of work or a two-year vocational program. Students in this sequence may select a slower pace for building academic achievement. Students interested in the general diploma program should contact our adviser.
