What is ADP?

The American Diploma Pathway (ADP) is a dual-diploma program that allows international students to earn an official U.S. high-school diploma while studying in their own country. ADP courses are taught online by certified American teachers and follow authentic U.S. public-school standards. This program opens the door for students to continue their studies in the United States or other English-speaking universities around the world.
