GED (GENERAL EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT)

The GED credential is widely recognized by colleges, training schools, and employers as equivalent to a high school diploma.

The GED class for adults is designed to:

  • Improve an adult's ability to comprehend, analyze, and evaluate written information
  • Help students apply knowledge to a new situation
  • Help students pass the five GED tests: writing, reading, social studies, science, and mathematics
  • Build academic skills to prepare for pre-college level credit English classes or other college classes

Classes are offered to review and prepare for the GED exam. The class consists of a combination of individual and group work with exercises and practice tests. The GED preparation class may be taken for two quarters.
