Competency Program

SAILS Competency Program is for students  between the ages of 18 and 20 that are more than 10 credits deficient for graduation.

These students may elect to demonstrate their competency in core areas through a series of competency based tests similar to those used in GED and HSED programs. Students demonstrating competency in math, science, social studies, government and language arts through rigorous testing (i.e NovaNet, GED, ACT) may exempt themselves from needing to complete core academic credits.

Students using this method may also take classes to make up for areas in which they are deficient in their testing.
