Im 19, and, long story short, have less then 5 high school credits. I’ve recently made a decision to get my life together and finish school. I’ve been advised to look into adult learning centers.
However, due to needing so many credits..Is there help i can get for this? Like, earn my high school diploma while taking a certificate credit course? i know they offer stuff like that at some places.
Or, can i take the grade 10 literacy test so that way, grade 9 and 10 is out of the way?
thanks!
