The Basics
What are the costs? There are no costs for students studying with the Distance Learning Project (DLP). We provide the online curriculum for free to students throughout Pennsylvania.
Who will be my teacher? Our team of distance learning instructors are a hard-working group of experienced adult-education teachers.

Studying
How much time does studying take? We ask that our students are ready to study for about five hours per week. That way you are completing assignments each week and you continue to move through the classes toward your goal.
Do I have to go anywhere? These distance learning classes can be done from home. You will study on your own with the support of a teacher. There is never any need to go anywhere to attend class.
Why do I have to take an online assessment? The online assessment gives the DLP an idea of your abilities as you begin studying. It helps us place you in a class that will help you the most.

Taking the High School Equivalency Test
How long before I can take my High School Equivalency test? When you choose to take the High School Equivalency test is still up to you. Some students only need to brush up on their math skills before they feel ready; others want to study all of the subjects. As you work through our classes you can talk with your teacher about how prepared you are to go take the tests.
