Adult Basic Education Program

Adult Basic Education (ABE)

Adult Basic Education (ABE) is a program that will help you build your basic academic skills in Reading Comprehension, Writing and Mathematics to prepare for enrollment in HiSET Preparation classes or the High School Diploma (HSD) program.  After 50 hours of instruction in the ABE program we can retest you to see if you qualify for the HSD or HiSET Prep programs. ABE Classes meet two to four days a week with the teacher and two days are independent study work done at home online and sent to teacher by e-mail.
