Basic Skills
The purpose of the Basic Skills Program is to provide opportunities for adults 16 years old or older who are no longer in the public schools. Educational opportunities are provided through five program areas which include: Adult Basic Education (ABE), Adult High School (AHS), General Education Development (GED), English as a Second Language (ESL), and Compensatory Education (CED). Programs are available at no cost both off campus and on campus to include the workplace. Students that successfully complete basic skills programs have enhanced basic employability and life skills and can also achieve high school completion or the equivalent should that be their educational goal.
Counselors are available to help you find the program that suits your goals.
New student orientation is held the 1st Thursday of each month at 9 a.m. and on the 3rd Wednesday and Thursday of each month at 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.
