General Educational Development (GED®)

A GED® can pave the way for job opportunities.  It can also lead to acceptance into job training or college courses.  The Literacy Center offers free classes that help people master the subjects on the GED® test - writing, reading, math, social studies and science. 

Both day and evening classes are available.  Some classes meet for five hours a week.  Others meet for ten or even twenty hours for students who would like to move forward quickly. 

Before students are enrolled in the class, they are tested to make sure the instruction is geared to their needs.  Students are also tested from time to time to check on their progress.
