Faculty of Adult Basic Education

Adult Basic Education (ABE) is a provincial High School Completion program for adult learners in Newfoundland and Labrador.

It depends on the number of credits you need to graduate. There are three different levels of ABE:

• Level I is considered equivalent to grades K-6;
• Level II is considered equivalent to grades 7-9;
• Level III is considered equivalent to grades 10-12
• Students need a minimum of 36 credits to graduate.

Students needing six or fewer credits for graduation may be eligible to transfer ABE Level III credits back to high school and receive a Newfoundland and Labrador High School Diploma.
