  • High School Equivalency in English

  • Prepare to earn your high school equivalency diploma and advance your education and career goals with our high quality and intensive preparation program.



  • Build your academic skills in a supportive and non-threatening learning environment to prepare for the Test Assessing Secondary Completion (TASC), which has replaced the General Equivalency Diploma (GED).

    Pre-high school equivalency and high school equivalency levels are offered and focus on reading, writing and mathematics while covering all five subjects addressed in the TASC. You also have the opportunity to participate in college and career planning workshops, which provide transition resources to help you apply to college or enroll in one of LaGuardia’s professional training programs once you have earned your high school equivalency diploma.

    Our intensive 12-week courses usually run twice a week in the morning, evening or all day Saturday, and are open to those 19 years of age or older.

    LaGuardia is an official testing center for the TASC. When you are ready to take the TASC, you will complete the application in class and register to take the exam.
