A high school diploma enables one to get a job or job promotion, enlist in the military service, get a pay increase, and improve one’s sense of self-esteem and personal self-worth.  Laconia Academy, the adult high school diploma program, enables anyone wishing to return to the classroom at night, the chance to earn a high school diploma.  Classes meet from 6:00-9:00 p.m., Monday - Thursday evenings.  A high school transcript from the last school attended is necessary.  Credit is given for those courses successfully passed.  Life experience credits are also given for work and military experience.  Laconia Academy is also approved for anyone eligible for Veterans’ Benefits.

 

Laconia Academy also enables In-School Youths, lacking the proper number of credits to graduate in June 2016 with their class, to enroll and take courses.  Permission is needed from the principal of the sending school in order for an in-school youth to enroll at Laconia Academy.  Credits for courses successfully passed at Laconia Academy will be transferred back to the day program prior to the June graduation date.

The Adult Tutorial Program for Belknap County helps non-reading adults learn to read, write, and do simple mathematical computations needed for everyday life.  The Tutorial Program also needs tutors who are willing to help people learn to speak, read and write English as a second language.  Volunteer tutors are needed to be trained to work on a one-to-one basis with adult learners who cannot read and need to learn to speak English.  There is no pressure in the Tutorial Program.  There are no grades involved.  The Tutorial Program is always on the lookout for adults who need help with reading or math skills.  Perhaps you know of a relative, friend, or someone you work with who can’t read or needs to learn to speak English.  Call 524-5712 and make a referral.  All information is strictly confidential.  In 2016, there is no need for anyone to be embarrassed because they can’t read or speak English.  Help is only a phone call away.
