Get Your High School Diploma At Goodwill
Adults 18 years of age and older who aspire to get their high school diploma are invited to attend Goodwill's Helms Academy. Through a partnership with Camden County College, the Helms Academy offers general adult education and employment services that help individuals fulfill the necessary academic requirements to get their high school diploma while simultaneously earning college credit.
Classes are offered both during the day and in the evening at the Helms Academy located at 222 White Horse Pike in Stratford, NJ. Many courses are also available to participants online 24-7. Adults 18 and older who have left traditional secondary education and are unable to return due to age and/or circumstances are encouraged to apply. For more information on The Helms Academy, please contact Alicia Pickul at 856/566-5375, ext. 3 or via email [email protected].
Thanks to the Helen D. Groome Beatty Trust, a BNY Mellon Mid-Atlantic Charitable Trust, the Helms Academy continues to expand. A recent $10,000 grant from the Trust will cover the cost of GradPoint software at the soon to open Helms Academy at the Dornsife Center on the campus of Drexel University in Philadelphia. This Internet-based software provides a self-paced learning experience anywhere any time for students working towards their high school diploma.
