ACADEMIC REFRESHERS

GED PREPARATION

You've wanted to get your GED (General Equivalency Diploma), but you either haven't had the time or haven't known where to go for help. Or maybe you just haven't been ready. Are you ready now? We can help you prepare to take the GED test. You will work with an experienced teacher to improve your skills in reading, writing, math, science and social studies, and you will get a good idea of the parts in the GED test. Take the first step toward your goal: finding a new job, returning to school for a college degree, or perhaps, most important, feeling more self-confident.

Please bring an additional $25 to the introductory session on Thursday, February 18, 2010,
for text and materials.*
