* Finishing high school: This involves completing a traditional high school diploma program, either in person at a school or through an online school that's accredited. There are many online high schools, but they require you to complete coursework and meet graduation requirements.
* GED (General Educational Development): This is a test that assesses your knowledge and skills equivalent to a high school diploma. You take the GED test at a testing center and, if you pass, you receive a GED certificate. You don't take courses to *get* the GED; you take the test to *demonstrate* the equivalent of a high school education.
You can find online resources to help you prepare for the GED, but you'll have to take the official test at an authorized testing center. You cannot obtain a GED certificate purely online.
So, to summarize: You'd need to either:
1. Enroll in an online high school: Search for "online high schools accredited" to find options. Completing this will give you a high school diploma.
2. Prepare for and take the GED test: Search for "GED testing centers near me" to locate a testing center. Passing this will give you a GED certificate.
Choose the path that best suits your learning style and goals.
