Thank you for your interest in continuing your education at Berkeley Adult School.
At BAS, we have some classes that meet only in person, some classes that meet only online, and some classes you can attend in person or via Zoom. The important thing is that we want to do everything we can to enable you to attend!
There are two main paths to completing High School. You can:
- Earn your High School Diploma (HSD) by taking high school classes. We have most at BAS & some on Zoom. We also offer an Independent Study program for Eligible students.
- Pass a High School Equivalency (HSE) exam.
- To find out more about the two HSE exam options, chick HERE.
- To find out more about the credit requirements for a diploma, click HERE.
Both High School Diploma classes and High School Equivalency classes are free. Our counselor will help you decide which path is right for you.
