Built to Answer Every Question Parents Have
Choosing the right path for your child is a big decision. Here's how GED & HiSET Academy address what matters most to homeschooling parents.
Is This Credential Actually Real?
Yes – and that's the most important thing. GED & HiSET Academy are approved by the GED & HiSET Testing Services and content-aligned with the official GED and HiSET exams. The diploma your child earns is a nationally recognized high school equivalency credential, accepted by colleges, employers, the military, and trade schools across the U.S.
Will They Be Ready for College?
GED & HiSET Academy go beyond test prep. The included College Essentials course prepares your child for college placement exams, so they can skip remedial classes and start ahead. In a 2025 efficacy study, 100% of GED Academy students showed measurable score improvement. Many graduates earn scholarships.
What About Knowledge Gaps?
Every student begins with a diagnostic assessment that pinpoints exactly where they're strong and where they need to work. A personalized study plan then targets those gaps directly. With 3,000+ practice questions, your child builds real competency and not just test familiarity.
We Don’t Have Formal Records or Transcripts.
Many homeschool families kept informal records – or none at all. That's exactly where GED or HiSET is the right answer. The GED and HiSET do not require transcripts, prior enrollment records, or a parent-issued diploma. It's a state-issued credential that stands on its own and is accepted everywhere.
How Do I Know They’re Making Progress?
Full visibility is built in. The study time tracker logs every session. The personalized plan shows exactly what's been completed and what's next. Digital badges and certificates mark key milestones. You'll always have a clear, up-to-date picture of where your child stands – no guessing.
Is It Worth the Cost?
At $23.99/month (or $129.99 lifetime), GED/HiSET Academy is one of the most affordable programs available – far less than tutors, community college, or remedial courses later on. It also includes a 7-day money-back guarantee.

A Few Common Questions
Is a GED or HiSET as valuable as a traditional high school diploma?
Yes. The GED and HiSET are nationally recognized high school equivalency credentials, accepted by colleges, employers, the military, and trade schools across the U.S.
Will colleges accept my child with a GED or HiSET instead of a diploma?
Yes. The vast majority of colleges and universities accept the GED and HiSET as equivalent to a traditional high school diploma. Strong scores can also strengthen an application by demonstrating academic readiness. Plus, our included College Essentials course prepares your child for placement exams so they can start ahead rather than remedial classes.
My child is under 18. Can they take the GED or HiSET test?
Age requirements vary by state. Some states allow students to test at 16 or 17 with parental consent or a withdrawal/exemption form, while others require test-takers to be 18 or older. Our student advisors can help your child understand the specific requirements in your state before they begin, so there are no surprises on test day.
Can we use this alongside our existing homeschool curriculum?
Yes. GED & HiSET Academy works well as either a full program or a supplement to your current homeschool curriculum. Many families use it to add extra support in subjects like math and science, where focused instruction and test-aligned practice can make a big difference.
Do I have to teach the material myself?
No. GED & HiSET Academy does the teaching. Lessons, practice, and feedback are built in, and essays are graded by experts. Your role is simply to support and encourage. The personalized study plan and student advisors handle the instruction and structure.
How will I know my child is making progress?
You'll have a clear view of your child's progress every step of the way. The study time tracker logs every session, the personalized plan shows what's been completed and what's next, and digital badges and certificates mark key milestones.
What's the difference between the GED and the HiSET? Which should my child take?
The GED and HiSET are both nationally recognized high school equivalency exams, and our program is designed to prepare your child for either one. The test your child takes will depend on your state's requirements and available options. If you're unsure which exam is right for your situation, our student advisors are happy to help you figure it out.
How long does it take, and what if my child isn't a strong test-taker?
Most students are test-ready in 6–8 weeks, but the program is designed to move at your child's pace. Whether they progress quickly or need extra time, they can learn without pressure. And because the included practice tests closely match the real exam, your child will know what to expect and feel more confident on test day.
Do you have a refund policy, and can I cancel anytime?
Yes! We'll refund any payment within 7 days if requested, no questions asked. You can cancel anytime from your account. If you're unsure which plan fits, you can start with the monthly plan and switch to lifetime later.
