For the Haysville, Augusta, Harvey County, and Stafford Learning Centers, your age-based high school class must have graduated to enroll in the program. You can be at any age beyond that. We have worked with students from ages 18 to 85!
For the McPherson, Reno County, and Great Bend Centers, we have the option of working with high school students when the student's school district, ESSDACK, the student’s parents/guardians, and the student agree that the Learning Center is the best place for the student to continue their education.
