Frequently Asked Questions

 In today’s economy, having a high school diploma is becoming increasingly valuable. Those with only a GED have a more difficult time joining the military, going to college, or even applying for entry-level jobs. By offering students the opportunity to earn a diploma instead of taking the GED test, we are opening the door to a wider array of post-secondary options. In addition, whereas most adult schools and GED prep programs are independent study and packet-based, our school is classroom-based, so students are able to get more one-on-one attention and support from their teachers and counselors. Additionally, for students who struggled with high stakes testing at traditional schools, having to study for and take the GED test may be daunting. At YouthBuild Charter School of California, we do not rely on testing to assess students or measure progress. Instead, students learn through hands-on projects that are more relevant to their lives, all while meeting the state requirements for graduation.

If you already have existing high school credits, you will be able to transfer them to SCHEMATH. However, if you have no existing credits, students can earn their high school diploma in as fast as 2 years.
