Adult Basic Education (ABE)

The programs provide certification at the following levels: Level 3 (Grade 10), GED 12 and Level 4 (Grade 12).

The programs allows you to study at a pace suitable to your individual needs and abilities. When you start a program, our qualified and experienced instructors will find out what you already know, what you want to do and then design an individualized program to help you achieve your goals.
