Adult Learning

Each course runs for 4 months, where we provide hands on learning, testing and practice. Classes are scheduled twice a week and can either be in the morning or in the afternoons. Our teachers are experienced, polite, compassionate and willing to work with all levels of students.

The GED test is available in Spanish locally. We also work with students who have previously failed to pass the test.
