What is the age limit on Highschool?

Bare with me here. I'm 20 years of age and i have never been enrolled into a school before that. my journey here was rough. But i was wondering if it was possible to enroll at my age and how many years i could do it for. High School that is, i'm pretty responsible and i don't get into trouble.
 
 i really want to make up for high school. because if i don't, psychological it is going to bother me and its not easy at all. if i can do this instead of settling for a GED then I'd be really happy.
 
i could understand schools having the feeling of adults walking around wouldn't be good for youth. But i'm not a junkie or anything. I'm a loner at best. I just think its stupid that there is a age limit at some schools. High school diplomas are better then GEDS. Any suggestions?

The age limit in High School is 17 or 18 I think. All you have to do is apply at an Adult Ed. School.

Depends on where you live with state laws and whatever the county and/or school district says. There are options, public school might not be an option. Here where I am the limit is 21, due to the fact that you can buy alcohol at that age.

I don't think there's an age limit but a high school diploma will get you nowhere, that is unless you continue on to university. However it's all a bit late to do that now and based on what you've told me I'm not sure that the long and hard path through university would fit you either. Was there any particular reason why you didn't finish high school?

Get your grade 10 math and get into a trade.

Go to a community college and get a GED.  That's really your only option.  Also, it would be REALLY REALLY CREEPY for a 20-something year old to be taking freshman/Sophomore PE, which is what you would have to do to graduate from high school.

Creepy?? I think you mean really really hilarious. Especially if the guy takes it way too serioussly and does stuff like slam dunk on a eight foot hoop, then turn to the kid that was trying to guard him, give him the finger and tell him he's got no game. "

I know a guy whos turning 20 next year and hes still in my grade 12 history.
 
No age limit in canada afaik

Yeah, I don't know where you are, but I don't believe there's an age limit in Canada. Though schools are run provincially, so that also may vary from province to province. If you happen to live in Ontario though, you should be OK. 

For my old high school, it was 20 years old the age limit that they could keep you around in the school.

It's 21 here in Nova Scotia, Canada. Why 21? Beats me.

i would recommend getting a GED an skipping the whole high school business. that could be a pretty brutal experience.

Honestly, you're a little late to get to high school and most likely will be "the old guy." So just get the GED and apply to a community college. There are a lot of people who act like high schoolers there anyway, so at least you won't have the age problem.

21

It might be 21, but I think you'd probably have a better time if you got your GED instead, because, man, highschool fucking sucked.

i think 20. i had a friend who was a year older then everyone else. his birthday was like at the end of the school year. he was 20 when he graduated, like a day or something off.

Go to a disco with books.

What CitizenKane said. A GED is not inferior to a diploma. Ring up your local community colleges.

Get a GED.

It's 21 where I am. A GED for all intents and purposes is equivalent to a HS Diploma but it can have a stigma attached to it, especially when applying to selective colleges/jobs. Still, this is your best option really so no use thinking about that now. Just make the most out of what you have now, that's always the best option.

By the way, one last thing. I want to know something, Does college have any physical education that i could attend? I really REALLY want to play sports and it'd be awesome if i got to try that atleast once. if this is the case, i would get my ged and Try to relive my highschool years i never had. In college instead.

@deusdigit: You're kids aren't going to not look up to you because you didn't go to High School. Every child looks up to and respects their parents. Well, until they become teenagers anyway, but that's when you have to start letting them find their own way. I recommend doing what others have said. Get your GED and then work to get your Associates. Once you have the associates doors will open to you for a four year school and then you can get your BA or BS or whatever and then it won't matter.

my cousin didnt graduate highschool till he was 21 so I guess thats the age limit =\

Go for a GED- enrolling in a high school at this point isn't a viable option. A GED is a fine equivalent for people who regret dropping out or never had the chance like you-- you won't be looked down upon for having one.

Where I'm from, people can't be in high school for over 7 years. The max age limit is 21, otherwise they go to an adult education centre.
