Earn Your GED Certificate This Spring
Test Preparation Classes Begin in January

Alliance for Lifelong Learning (ALL), the continuing education program available through Oakton Community College and area high schools, offers two low-cost programs to help students earn high school diplomas.

Evening High School is open to Maine and Niles Township residents, age 16 and older. Classes meet two times per week from 6 to 10 p.m., 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.

GED Preparation Classes prepare students, age 19 and older, to pass the General Educational Development (GED) Test. The GED covers five subject areas and is accepted by most employers and schools as equivalent to a high school diploma. The test is administered at Oakton's Des Plaines campus by the Cook County GED Testing Service.

A variety of test preparation classes begin in late January. In addition to the pre-GED classes in English, reading, and math skills, ALL offers GED-level review classes in essay writing, reading, math, science, social studies, English, Spanish, and the U.S. Constitution. To enroll in GED test preparation classes, students must attend one of these free sessions for placement testing, counseling, and registration:

Session I: Tuesday, Jan. 7, and Thursday, Jan. 9, (must attend both nights), 6:45 - 10 p.m., at Maine East High School, 2601 Dempster St., Park Ridge.

Session II: Monday, Jan. 13, and Wednesday, Jan. 15 (must attend both nights), 6:45 - 10 p.m., at Niles North High School, 9800 Lawler Ave., Skokie.
