What is Adult Basic Education (ABE)?

ABE is a basic skills program for adults 16 years-of-age and older who are not currently enrolled in school.  In addition, we serve adults who have graduated from high school and wish to brush up their reading, writing, or math skills.  All new students attend an orientation session that covers program expectations and provides assessments.

Each student's course of study is framed by an educational plan based on the unique needs of the student.  ABE offers structured classes at various levels of reading, writing, and math.  Our students have the option of online instruction as well.

ABE can help you:

• Improve math, reading or writing skills.
• Meet entrance requirements for training beyond high school.
• Prepare for and pass the GED and High School Equivalency Certificate (HSE).
• Learn basic computer skills while studying other subjects.
• Get ahead at work.
• Prepare for a new job.
• Help your children with their homework.
• Learn to speak English (for non-native learners).
