Looking for an alternative to a GED? You have options!
Glendale Public Library is offering Arizona residents aged 21 years or older a second chance at earning a high school diploma through
Gale Presents: Excel Adult High School, an approved facilitator of the Arizona Adult Workforce Diploma Program. Provided to public libraries by Gale, part of Cengage Group, and funded through appropriations provided by the Arizona State Legislature, this program is designed to help adults obtain their high school diploma entirely online, as well as prepare them for college or the workplace.
Features of the program include:

- There’s no cost to eligible students.
- The program is 100% online, with 24/7 access to courses.
- The schedule is flexible and self-paced—learners can finish in 24 months or less. Students can graduate sooner with transfer credits.
- Transfer credits are accepted from previous high school(s) and passed portions of the GED®, HiSet®, or TASC exams.
- Live one-on-one tutoring sessions and support from success coaches are offered.
- Course translations and read-aloud tools for English language learners are available.
- The counseling team can assist with course selection, college planning, or career guidance.
