Excel Adult High School

Adults can earn a high school diploma through the Library. The Library is now accepting applicants to complete high school through a tuition-free accredited online program. Library cardholders age 18 and older can earn a high school diploma - not a GED - while also receiving college or career planning assistance. ​St. Charles County residents who are interested may now apply for limited spaces.

Every Excel student will have access to:

• A personal coaching team
• Unlimited live tutoring
• Translation tools for English language learners
• A Chromebook computer

Those who are accepted are given 24 months to finish 21.5 credits, requiring approximately 8-10 hours per week of self-paced online study time. If participants have high school credits or have completed portions of the GED, HiSET, or TASC, those credits can be transferred to help satisfy graduation requirements. 

For more information please contact your nearest branch or email your questions to exceladulths@stchlibrary.org.
