CAPA Program Overview
McLain’s Career Advancement Program for Adults (CAPA) program includes both a high school diploma program and a GED program. For adult students seeking a high school diploma, students attend classes and earn credits toward graduation requirements. For students interested in earning a GED, students attend classes to help them supplement their skills and content knowledge in order to pass the GED test.
Both programs are inclusive of all adult students , regardless of age and educational background. Both have flexible scheduling options; both support the unique needs of adult students; both are focused on preparation and opportunities for life after graduation.
