Our Open Classes
Adult Basic Education (ABE)
ABE classes are created for adults who need to learn reading, writing, math, and spelling skills. They also help increase your ability to understand the things that you read.
English as a Second Language
English classes are designed for adults to help gain confidence to speak and read in English. Classes work on listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills.
High School Equivalency Test (HiSET) Preparatory Classes
High School Equivalency (HSE) classes are designed to help adults obtain their high school diplomas. We understand that life’s challenges can get in the way and we want to help you develop your full potential. That’s why our HSE classes are designed to help you earn your high school diploma; this opens doors for higher education and new opportunities in the workforce. Our HSE classes cover reading, writing, math, social studies, and science.
U.S. Citizenship Classes
Achieving U.S. citizenship is a big step, and our citizenship classes are here to help. Classes cover the American history, government, and cultural information needed to pass the test. Passing this test gives you a future with rights and opportunities that come with being a United States citizen.
