As of March 2008 VRABE has begun implementing an Orientation that all students contemplating a high school diploma must attend before beginning classes. The Orientation Session is structured to inform the students of the three options they have to get a diploma, CDP (Credit Diploma Program – often referred to as evening school), NEDP (National External Diploma Program), and GED (General Education Development).
At the sessions the programs are described and students participate in a goal setting activity. CASAS appraisal testing is also administered. Students will then schedule a one on one meeting with a counselor to develop a plan for achieving their diplomas.
CDP & GED: Third Trimester starts March 22, 2010
GED only: Semester Two started February 1, 2010
ESL : Semester Two started February 1, 2010
