Life lesson credits
PORT ANGELES — Peninsula College’s HS21+ program offers adult learners the opportunity to earn their high school diploma in at least 10 weeks.
Through the Prior Learning Credit feature, students can use the knowledge they have acquired outside the classroom to earn high school credits.
To receive credit for prior learning, students work one-on-one with an instructor to develop an essay in which they document the skills and knowledge they have gained through work and life experience.
Credit(s) are awarded upon completion and instructor review of the essay.
The program also offers a number of classes online, allowing students to complete work according to their own schedule at home.
Students can receive in-person instruction at Peninsula College locations in Port Angeles, Sequim, Forks, Port Hadlock and Neah Bay.
Students must be 21 years old to receive their diploma but can begin working toward one before then.
The program is offered for $25 per quarter, and financial aid is available.
