NEDP®
An alternative to the GED®, NEDP is a great option for busy, self-motivated adults with life experience. Adults completing the NEDP® earn a Branford Adult High School Diploma.
- NEDP is flexible and offers times that can accommodate most busy schedules.
- The curriculum is online, so most of the work is done at home or at a location of your choice when it is convenient for you.
- Meet with an assessor once a week for up to two hours at a mutually convenient time/location, including remotely.
*A limited number of slots are available to those living outside of the four towns we serve.
