American Diploma Project  

Definition

  • The American Diploma Project (ADP) is an initiative taking place in 34 states to raise expectations and standards for all students so that a high school diploma will mean that graduates are prepared to succeed in college or in a high-performance workplace. It is a culmination of a nationwide, standards-based education reform movement that has continued for nearly 2 decades through the efforts of state and business leaders.
