Build a Powerful Adult Diploma Pipeline with American High School Academy
A Cognia®-Accredited School with an Adult Diploma Pathway That Prepares Students for College
In the U.S., more than 30 million adults still lack a high school diploma. Many are academically ready for college or workforce training but can’t enroll because of one missing credential. Your institution can be part of the solution.
American High School Academy (AHSA) offers a scalable, flexible, adult diploma pipeline that helps postsecondary institutions connect with, support, and enroll this overlooked population.
This is not a GED®. AHSA students earn a real high school diploma accepted by employers, colleges, and the military.
Why Create an Adult Diploma Pipeline?
Grow enrollment with diploma-eligible learners
Reach underserved adult populations
Increase community impact and economic mobility
Offer guided transitions from diploma to degree
