learning at our adult ed center
we offer regular classes in reading, writing, and math
Mon - Thurs 9:00 to 3:00 for all students.
Please check our calendar (see link below) .
For more information call us at 823-1341.
Most students are working on their GEDs,
however, and so most
of our classes are geared toward students working toward making gains
in their TABE assessments, completing the Official Practice Tests, and
signing up for the GED.
Our location on the Grant County Middle School campus means our facility is closed on days when Grant County Schools are closed because of weather. In the case of bad weather, please check in with your local tv and radio stations to see if we're open.
Classes offered/status
After classes, students are encouraged to visit our center and work under supervision of one of our instructors during lab times. At this time, you cannot register for classes through this website, so please visit or call our office to find a class that works for your schedule. A list of our scheduled classes is regularly updated on our calendar page. Students are encouraged to bring their own notebook to classes. Students who do homework, come to class regularly, and stay for lab times are the students who make the most progress.
Basic Math Class
In our basic math class, you will refresh and refine your math skills while covering such topics as: whole numbers, decimals, frcations, proportions, percents, measurement, and data analysis. By attending class each week and completing the assigned homework, you will improve your math skills in the required areas of the TABE and prepare yourself for our more advanced math classes.

Writing Class
Writing is a class to help you discover what writing can do for you. Writing can
help you learn about yourself, remember important events in your life, explore
complex ideas or issues. Writing class will help you become a better writer.
Much of the writing you do in writing class will be topics you choose yourself
from personal narratives, to poetry, to letter writing and finally how to write
a summary
could be just a few of the topics you choose to write about.
Reading Class
The purpose of the reading class is to help make reading a regular part of your life. The more you read the better you write. The reading objectives are to help you learn how to access a variety of books, to help you practice reading as a process, and to help you respond to books.
After classes are finished
At the conclusion of 5 weeks of classes (and assigned homework) when students have put at least 40 hours of work toward their GED, students are encouraged to re-take the TABE assessments to determine their progress in a given subject area. Students then know what they still need to work on or learn that they're ready to take the Official Practice Test--the last step before their GED test.
College Preparation
Students who have a GED or a high school diploma and are preparing to enter college may take assessment to evaluate any skill level upgrade needed to enter college.
Corrections
Our instructors teach regular classes at our nearby correctional institution--The Grant County Detention Center. Russell Ryan teaches a math class on Thursdays. More information may be obtained about these programs by calling our center at (859) 823-1341.
ITTS
Schedules, family circumstances, health issues, transportation problems, and other events may prevent a student from obtaining and furthering their education. GCAE offers online learning to students who have enrolled and may be a good candidate for this service. After a student has completed their initial testing, an instructor will determine placement through online learning. Seats are limited and selection is exclusively determined by the director or instructor. We ask student to be serious about their online learning and be regular in their homework and attendance to be eligible for this option.
