Education is the key to success.  Open the door to your future! Classes meet during the day and/or evening and have open entry and exit. Adults enter at any class meeting and finish when they meet their goals. All students are assessed for their ability in reading and math.  Individuals that enroll in adult education classes will receive access to study online in addition to classes and will be eligible to receive FREE GED Ready vouchers ($32 value).  Individuals that pass a GED Ready test may be eligible for a scholarship to take the actual GED test at no charge.

We provide adult education classes in Colonial Heights, Dendron, Dinwiddie, Emporia, Hopewell, Petersburg, Prince George, Surry and Waverly.
