GED and Adult Basic/Secondary Education
The
Gilbert Adult Learning Program offers GED and Adult Basic
Education/Adult Secondary Education (ABE/ASE) classes to help you
prepare for the GED exam or to provide enrichment in the following
areas:
Language Arts (Reading & Writing)
Math
Science
Social Studies
College and Career Readiness
Our ABE/ASE/GED classes
are designed to address the diverse educational needs of adult
learners. We offer small class instruction in all four test areas and
also have computer software, textbooks, and worksheets to complement
your study plan.
When
a student enters our program, standardized assessments in reading,
writing and math are administered and the student's lesson path is
determined. Individual assignments are made based on the results of
these assessments. Students must attend registration prior to enrolling
in a GED class. Classes are scheduled during the morning and evening to
accommodate your schedule.
