NEDP offers credit for work and life achievements, confidentiality, flexible hours, and demonstration of knowledge and skills through real-life activities.

AHSCDP (Adult High School Credit Diploma Program). The AHSCDP Program is a way for students who withdraw from school to complete their high school education, by earning credits for specific core and elective courses. At the time of registration, students must present a signed parent withdrawal form (17 years old only), and an official transcript.
