Do You Need to Go Back to School?

Have you graduated high school? 


The Education Exchange offers programs to help get you back where you need to be.  We offer programs at 3 different locations in Southern Rhode Island.  At any age a GED may be obtained.  Over the age of 21, a high school diploma may be obtained.

The Education Exchange prepares those interested in taking the GED exams.  We offer classes in the evening and morning.  
  

Some adult learners, who have skills based on life experience but lack a high school diploma, may not comfortable taking the GED exams. For these adults, The Education Exchange offers the National External Diploma Program (NEDP) in conjunction with RIRAL, which allows them to earn a high school diploma by demonstrating high school level skills in real-life situations.
