Review 5/1/2009
American Hispanic School has a realistic vision and a realistic mission: the challenge is to participate as a non-public Adult education provider in the solution of a big problem in our society: the lack of education among adult population.
In order to complement the public adult education system efforts, the non-public Adult Educators, have a huge opportunity and a challenge complement the Public Educations system to provide Secondary Education to about 5 million Adult Californians – 23% of California population age 25 and older - who lack the minimal necessary credential to achieve some degree of success in the labor market. is to provide the High School Diploma to 2.5 million adults who lack the High School Diploma (2.5 million adults have less than 9th grade).
The need of Adult Education is clear: without serious Adult Education public and non-public jointed effort, California could become a state “with two very different populations: one with an education sufficient to do well in the new economy, help their children succeed in school and play a leadership role in their communities and one whose lack of language proficiency, education, or basic skills, leaves them and the families beyond the reach of opportunity and on the margins of civic and social life ” (Comings et. al.)
The lack of a High School Completion has serious
consequences: men with a High School Diploma earn a median income of over $34.000 compared to less than $25.000 for those with some High School (no Diploma) and less than $21.000 for those with less than 9th grade. (NCES/2003)
The poverty, un-adaptation, failure of democracy, life level among the society, family expectations, Government performance, reduced tax collection associated with the lower incomes and greater use of health and welfare services are among others, consequences connected with the need of High School Completion and Graduation to earn the High School Diploma, effective delivery systems.
American Hispanic School delivers the “Adult High School, Secondary Diploma program” categorized by US Department of Education Classification of Instructional programs ( CIP53.0105) for adults who have not finished High School or who have finished it in their native country or in the United States without earning a High School Diploma.
Complying with all applicable laws governing private schools, the academic and operational structures are adequate to the particular need of the working population, 3 hour weekly classes trough one semester at classrooms close to their home or work, and at workplaces.
