The purpose of the Adult High School Diploma Program, established through a mutual agreement between the Carteret County Board of Education and Carteret Community College, is to provide testing, guidance, and instruction which will enable the adult student to complete the requirements for and be awarded an Adult High School Diploma.
To be enrolled in the Adult High School program, students must attend an orientation prior to attending class. There is no cost for attending the orientation. During the orientation, the student completes required paperwork, completes a placement assessment in reading, math, and language, and obtains in-depth information regarding the program and expectations. Placement assessment scores along with a personal interview are used to determine the best course of action for the student to complete their Adult High School diploma at Carteret Community College. All courses will be offered in a classroom setting with classes meeting on the semester system. Classes are offered during the daytime. An instructor will be present at all times to direct classroom activities whether subject matter is presented through the use of programmed material, lecture method, or computer assisted.
