GED/ ABE for Adults

The General Educational Development (GED) Program offers preparation for the GED (high school equivalency) examination. The Adult Basic Education (ABE) Program provides courses to adults who test below the GED level and need to improve basic reading and math skills before they qualify to move into the GED level. Special emphasis in both programs is given to the development of critical thinking skills, problem solving techniques, and career planning. Students 16 and above are welcome.
