THE ADULT HIGH SCHOOL
CREDIT DIPLOMA PROGRAM (CDP)
The Credit Diploma Program offers adults the opportunity to earn a high school diploma through the Naugatuck Board of Education. Participants may earn credits through evening classes, independent-study curriculum packets and documented life experiences. Credits may also be transferred from previously attended high schools. A total of 22 credits is necessary for graduation. All who wish to enroll should bring a copy of their previous high school transcript so counselors can review transfer credits.
Evening Classes
The Credit Diploma Program offers a variety of one-credit evening courses in English, Math, Social Studies, Science and electives. Each course is held two evenings per week, Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday, from 6:15 to 8:30 p.m. Each one-credit course requires 49.5 hours of attendance as well as successful completion of course work.
Independent Study Curriculum Packets
Curriculum packets are available in English, Math, Social Studies, Science and electives. Each packet is divided into a specific number of chapters and students work independently to complete the required assignments and test for each chapter. When students successfully complete all tests in the packet, they are awarded credit. Counselors are available to determine which packets are appropriate for each student. This component is offered as an additional way for students to earn credit, not as a stand-alone program. Sign-ups for the packet program start one week after classes begin and continue throughout the school year.

GED EXAMINATION INFORMATION
Naugatuck Adult Education is a computerized registration site for the GED Examination. We do not administer the examination, but it is offered at several locations throughout Connecticut and we can determine which sites best accommodate each student’s schedule.
To register for the GED exam, adults must be 17 years of age or older and formally withdrawn from school for 6 months, or their 9th grade class must have graduated. Students aged 16–18 must document their date of day school withdrawal with parental permission. All applicants must present a government issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, at the time of GED exam registration.
Accommodations on the GED Examination are available for individuals
with a documented disability. For more information contact Lori Ferreira
