2. Will my diploma be a GED?
Alpha High School offers a high school graduation program, also known as high school equivalency program. Whereas the Alpha high School equivalency testing program contains similar curriculum questions, it is not a GED program. General Educational Development certificates are to be issued by government agencies and public educational institutions only.

We strongly recommend that based on your career or life ambitions you consider completing both programs.

7. What can I use my diploma for?
