Students attend daily classes to develop secondary-level skills. Through contextualized instruction and individual and group projects, students create a portfolio of work to demonstrate required competencies.

Meet ASE student, Misael.
When Misael came to the United States from the Dominican Republic, he knew his first priority had to be to improve his English Language skills. He found our English Language Learning program, where he developed and strengthened those skills. Knowing he needed a secondary credential approved of by employers in the United States, he then entered our GED© program. Though English is not his first language and there is a Spanish language GED© option, Misael wanted to earn his high school credential in English. While working two jobs, he completed the tests in what, for him, is a second language and is now considering his post-secondary options.
