Is this class right for me?

This class is for those native English speakers who for any reason did not complete high school, as well as for learners (age 18 or up) who have graduated our Classroom program, but do not hold credentials considered equivalent to US high school graduation standards, the ESL Classroom program is offering a General Education Diploma (GED) preparation class.

Please note: For non-native speakers of English, obtaining your GED is considered, in the United States, equivalent to graduating from a US high (secondary) school. Whether you have a college degree but your secondary/high school graduation credentials from outside the US are not accepted by US standards, or you are advanced in your English but did not or have not yet completed high school, this class will prepare you for the GED exam.
