Did you leave high school without your diploma?
No worries! We can help with that, too. In partnership with Merrymeeting Adult Education, MYC supports youth looking to prepare for the HiSET exam.
HiSET is an alternative for the US high school diploma and is offered for adults who were not able to acquire a high school diploma for any reason.
