Adult Basic Education (ABE)
Take free classes to improve your reading, writing, and math skills. The classes help with basic skills that you might need for a job or to pass the high school equivalency test (HiSET or GED).
What you'll learn
Adult Basic Education (ABE) teaches the basics in reading, writing, and math. Some students are learning skills for the first time and others just need a reminder. Either way, the classes will give you a strong base for future success.
Being a single mother and out of school for 22 years, I didn’t think I could do it. The Adult Ed classes gave me confidence, and the teachers helped me so much. Plus, I discovered that I love learning new things!
