Adult Education (AE)

Designed for adults who want to improve their foundational education skills (reading, writing, and/or math), or prepare for beginning GED©/HSED instruction.

We offer a variety of learning methods to meet each student's unique educational goals. Class formats vary among sites, but may include:

  • One-on-One Tutoring: One or more 60-90 minute session(s) per week, scheduled according to student needs and tutor availability
  • Small Group or Classroom with a tutor and/or instructor
  • MATC Learning Labs: Leveled classroom instruction led by MATC instructors on-site at Literacy Services - Downtown Center or Silver Spring Neighborhood Center (morning and evening options available)

 

Foundational Adult Ed (AE)

We use a variety of curricula, including the evidence-based Wilson Reading System©, to help students develop reading and spelling skills. Students also learn basic grammar and language skills. We accept students of all abilities, including those with very limited skills and/or those with learning difficulties.

Comprehensive Adult Ed (AE)

Our holistic approach to language arts and math study incorporates contextualized instruction in academic subjects, including history, social studies, science, and other areas. Comprehensive instruction builds reading comprehension, vocabulary, writing skills, and mathematics in preparation for the transition to GED©/HSED work.

Basic Math

Basic math includes simple arithmetic with whole numbers, decimals, fractions, and beginning algebra. Students may work solely on math or in tandem with other ABE studies.
