Adult Basic Education (ABE)

Designed primarily to help improve basic reading, writing, and math skills, the Adult Basic Education Program may also include instruction in basic science and social studies. The program is based upon the philosophy that every person, regardless of functional level, is teachable, capable of self-improvement, and should have the opportunity to participate in continuing educational activities.

There is no credit transfer system in the Adult Basic Education Program. The goal of the program is to enable the student to advance along a continuum from his or her current educational level to a high school equivalency or Adult High School Diploma Program and into a college level curriculum.
