What is the difference between a GED and a HSED offered by On Track?
A GED is not the same as a high school equivalency diploma. A HSED from On Track will give the student a high school transcript showing a grade for each subject taken in the four years of high school as indicated on the specific sections of our exams. In addition, an accredited high school diploma will be issued.
How many hours a day does it take to get my school work done?
Students should allow for 3-4 hours per day to be able to complete required lessons and maintain a B+ average.

An added benefit to enrolling in a distance learning school is that there is no homework since all our work is completed at home.
