In January 2014, the HiSET (High School Equivalency Test) exam replaced the GED (General Education Development) exam in Massachusetts for obtaining a high school credential, accepted by almost all U.S. employers, colleges and universities.
In the HiSET Preparation program, students are taught all subject areas: Reading, Writing, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Students also master other important educational and career skills such as problem-solving and information processing.
