ABE - Adult Basic Education

Program Description

Adult Basic Education (ABE) is for students who read below a 9th grade level as determined by the CASAS Assessment Test. ABE is a foundational course in reading, writing, and math. Students work on reviewing and learning these skills to help prepare for HSD or HiSET. After 40 hours of instruction, students retake the CASAS. The score must be 239 or higher to be promoted to the next program.

The lab is open Monday - Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Direct instruction classes are available Monday - Thursday and are required:

  • 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. or
