Earn Your GED Certificate
Test Preparation Courses Begin in March



It's never too late to earn a high school diploma. Alliance for Lifelong Learning (ALL), the continuing education program offered by Oakton Community College and area high schools, presents two, low-cost ways to help achieve this educational goal.

GED Preparation Classes prepare students, age 19 and above, to pass the General Educational Development (GED) Test. ALL offers GED-level review classes in essay writing, reading, math, science, social studies, English, Spanish, and the U.S. Constitution. Test preparation classes begin in March. Those who wish to enroll in GED test preparation classes must attend one of these free sessions for placement testing, counseling, and registration:

The GED is a credential accepted by most employers and schools as equivalent to a high school diploma. The test covers five subject areas and is administered at Oakton's Des Plaines campus by the Cook County GED Testing Service.

Evening High School is open to Maine and Niles Township residents, age 16 and above. Classes meet two times per week, 6 - 10 p.m., on Mondays and Wednesdays or Tuesdays and Thursdays, at Maine South High School, 1111 S. Dee Road, Park Ridge. For more information, call 847-825-7719.
