All classes are offered FREE of charge to everyone. GED and College Preparation classes are offered at many locations around the community at different times. You may take as many of these classes as you like, and you may enroll in more than one at a time. You do not have to be in any special program or qualify in any way. You only have to want to learn something new!
Because we all learn in different ways, all of our teachers have a unique method of instruction. If you are in a class and feel you are not meeting your goals, please come by the ABE department and discuss it with us. We will try to match your learning style with the class that fits your needs.
We are interested in your ideas and would like to hear from you while you are with us.

There are many community organizations that can offer help with food, shelter, child care, medical bills, job search, entering college, and some support groups. If you feel that you may need some of these services, please ask us. We may be able to refer you to the proper organization.
