We offer two no-cost options for high school completion:
RSU 16 Adult Education Diploma – we’ll take a look at the credits you earned in high school (from your official high school transcript) and figure out what you still need to earn. You can then work on earning those credits – and graduating from our program.
HiSET – this is the high school equivalency test that replaced the GED for the State of Maine in 2014. This is open to anyone 17 years of age or older. Accommodations are available for persons with documented disabilities per the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Don’t wait for a new school year to start – begin anytime!

Yes! We offer a FREE 12-week College Transitions program that is designed to help you prepare, both academically and financially, to be successful in college.

Many classes require a minimum number of participants to run. By registering ahead of time, the instructor will know how many people to expect – and you will be on the list to receive any updates or cancellation notifications about the class.
Our Learning Center is open during the regular school year on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 am to 3 pm, and on Wednesday evenings from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm. We are also open for 5 weeks in the summer on a reduced schedule.
