General Educational Development (GED)

If for some reason you were not able to finish your high school education this GED course will give you the opportunity to receive a diploma after all.

The GED diploma is perceived by adult learners as a key to respect – for oneself and from the community – a step toward a better job, and a requirement for most post-secondary study.  The GED is designed to measure the skills and concepts generally associated with four years of regular high school instruction.

The 5 Topic Areas

  • Language Arts—Reading
  • Language Arts—Writing
  • Mathematics
  • Social Studies

Reading is heavily emphasized. Every component requires reading, with the language arts – reading, science, and social studies portions drawing heavily on this skill. The mathematics section includes algebra and geometry problems as well as problems addressing basic computational skills. Both the science and the social studies exams require students to have some knowledge of general subject matter, and to be familiar with common scientific principles (the scientific method) and historical documents (Constitution).

Spelling is not heavily addressed in the language arts- writing section, except as it applies to homonyms. There are a wide array of commercial curricula and materials available for teaching skills needed in the five areas of the GED.
