The Academic Services Program offers services that help individuals develop an individualized academic plan – whether it’s to complete their GED, earn their High School Diploma, TABE or Certification testing.

Basic Services:

  • Youth center walk-ins at the Metro/Rec at 300 N. 4th Ave., downtown Tucson

Intensive Services:

  • Preparation for:
    • GED

Each academic plan is set up around the participants’ schedule, needs and or barriers, and their academic background. Academic services help young adults prepare for and earn their GED, improve scores on Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) scores, and study for industry recognized credentials.

High School Diploma through Grad Solutions

Youth and young adults ages 16-21, can earn their High School Diploma online through Grad Solutions.
