GED (High School Equivalency)

High School Equivalency

In partnership with the Alamo Colleges District and the Alamo Adult Education Program, our High School Equivalency/GED® prep program offers free morning, afternoon, face-to-face, or self-paced course options to meet a variety of needs.

The program prepares learners for all four GED® exam subject areas:

As students near completion, the program provides guidance on career or college planning.
