Adult Basic Education
Information for Students

What is Adult Basic Education?

Students participate in adult basic education programs for a number of reasons. Some students wish to complete a GED. Others may wish to improve their skills for employment purposes. Some students want to refresh their skills in order to participate in further training or educational opportunities.

Eligible activities include instruction in reading, writing, math and English. English as a Second Language (ESL) is also available if English is not your first language. Instruction includes reading, writing, speaking and listening below levels of high school completion.

Who is Eligible?

Anyone who is 16 years of age or older, not enrolled in secondary or post secondary school and who has needs below the level of high school completion is eligible to participate in the Adult Basic Education program free of charge.
