The Adult Education Program provides a wide range of courses designed for adult learners. These include basic education, English literacy and civics. Adults can also earn important diplomas, such as the Hawai‘i Adult Community School Diploma, either through General Educational Development (GED) and the High School Equivalency Test (HiSET) exams, and the Workforce Development Diploma (WDD). Additionally, the adult schools manage the Department’s substitute teacher training course. These courses are run out of the Department’s 10 Community Schools for Adults (CSAs) sites. Please contact the school nearest you (see below) for information.

Nā papahana diploma

HIDOE’s Community Schools for Adults are fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). The goal of the GED and HiSET programs is to ensure that graduates who earn a High School Equivalency Credential and/or Hawai‘i Adult Community School Diploma are career ready and prepared for post-secondary education. Both are aligned to national Common Core State Standards and College and Career Readiness Standards.

Hoʻomohala Hoʻonaʻauao Nui 

ʻO ka GED test provides a valid means of measuring the educational achievement of adults who have not graduated high school, and of comparing their academic competence with that of high school graduates. The GED test battery consists of five tests: writing skills, social studies, science, interpreting literature and the arts, and mathematics. Individuals who successfully complete the test battery will receive an official GED transcript and may qualify for the Hawai‘i Adult Community School Diploma. The diploma may provide graduates the opportunity to enter the military service, gain college admission, increase income, increase job qualifications or assist in obtaining work advancement.​
