What is a modified diploma?

A modified diploma is an alternative educational credential designed for students who may not meet the standard requirements for a regular high school diploma, often due to disabilities or learning challenges. It typically includes a reduced set of academic standards and may focus on practical life skills and vocational training. While a modified diploma can provide students with a sense of accomplishment and help them transition to post-secondary options, it may not be recognized by all colleges or employers in the same way as a standard diploma.
