Laconia Academy Offers Diploma Courses
For The Fall Semester 2014
Laconia Academy is the adult evening high school diploma program in
the Lakes Region. “This program provides adults with a “second
chance” to earn a high school diploma,” states Mrs. Peggy Selig,
Program Director.
Anyone interested in enrolling for the FALL SEMESTER 2014 or
learning more about the program is urged to call 524-5712 or stop
into the Laconia Adult Education Office located in Room #108 at
Laconia High School.
The Fall Semester 2014 classes start the week of August 25-28, 2014.
The following courses will be offered: Yankee Lit & Wit, Math Boot
Camp, Forensic Science, Math Concepts/Algebraic Thinking, Human
Biology & Lab, The Great War & Holocaust, Chemistry & Lab, Sports
Literature, Me: A-Z, Short Stories: A-Z, Algebra I and Pre-Algebra.
Laconia Academy also enables In-School Youth, enrolled in day high
school programs, to take courses at night if they have failed
classes during the day. With the principal’s permission, any
In-School Youth may enroll at Laconia Academy. This cooperation with
local area high schools helps prevent In-School Youths from dropping
out of high school or having to repeat their senior year.
Students attending Laconia Academy can earn high school diploma
credits in several different ways. Credit is given for previous high
school credits earned and life experiences such as military service,
work experience, apprenticeship training, correspondence courses,
certificate programs and homemaking. Credits are earned by passing
courses at Laconia Academy. Laconia Academy is also approved for
those eligible for V.A. benefits.
One vital piece of paper needed at the time of enrollment is a copy
of one’s high school transcript from the last school attended. It is
necessary in order to transfer those previously earned high school
credits to one’s current record at Laconia Academy.
Bank of New Hampshire has established limited scholarship help for
those students demonstrating financial need living in Laconia,
Gilford, Meredith, Center Harbor, Plymouth, Bristol and
Moultonborough. This scholarship help will enable students to return
to school at night and complete their high school education.
The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation through the Adult Success
Program Grant (ASP) has also provided limited scholarship for these
individuals who qualify in addition to limited scholarship
assistance through the Pardoe Grant.
Statistics show that one out of four adults in New Hampshire does
not have a high school diploma. You are not alone. 1,234 Lakes
Region area adults have earned their high school diploma through
Laconia Academy. Everyone knows how important an education is. Do
this for yourself and invest in your future. Go back to school and
earn a high school diploma. Call 524-5712 to make an appointment or
for more information.
