GED Classes in CT

The GED classes prepare you to pass the four-part exam to earn a State of Connecticut diploma. You receive the necessary instruction in Social Studies, Science, Math and Language Arts. 

Before you are registered for the GED classes, you will take a pre-test that will determine your educational needs.  The score needed to be placed in GED classes is an assessment score above 235 in Math and English. 

If you score below 235 you will be placed in ABE (Adult Basic Education) which is a program that will help you develop your basic reading, writing, math, and technology skills in preparation for all of our high school options:  GED (General Education Development), NEDP (National External Diploma Program), and CDP (Credit Diploma Program).  Note that in addition to the test scores, placement will be reviewed by the student, teachers, administrators, and counselors.  For more information call us today at 860-647-5075!
