Adult students interested in earning an ADULT HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA must first make an appointment with adult school counselor Mr. Kane to have their high school transcripts evaluated before they can register for classes. To make a counseling appointment call: 805 497-2761 x 1026.

ADULT HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA requirements for graduation are acquired in three areas:

1. Completing 180 credits (fifteen credits must be earned from taking classes at the adult school).

2. Taking subject-specific courses (they are listed below).

3. Passing the two-part (Language Arts/Mathematics) California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE); students are allowed to re-take sections until they pass. Conejo Valley Adult School offers CAHSEE prep through the learning center; the prep may count for 2.5 elective credits for each of Math and Eng/LangArts (if elective credits are needed); the prep does not count toward needed Math or English credits. The CAHSEE itself is administered several times a year at the Conejo Valley Adult School campus; click here for a schedule of 2009-10 CAHSEE administration dates.
