Achieve additional academic knowledge and skills required to pursue a full range of career, secondary and post-secondary opportunities. 

Instruction emphasizes language arts and math skills. If you are preparing to take the high school equivalency test (HiSET), working on a traditional high school diploma, or studying to improve CASAS scores, this class is for you.

Set up an appointment with adult education staff for intake, assessment and advising. After we get to know you and your goals, you will take the CASAS reading and math tests, which helps us determine your learning level. These are not graded and the score is informational. It helps us get to know you as a unique learner so we can support your educational goals. Once intake and assessment is complete, you can begin preparing for the HiSET by attending learning labs. A qualified instructor will help you strategize your learning tasks so you get the support you need in the areas you need it.  For more information please visit us at: https://boothbayae.maineadulted.org/ or email:  kwinslow@aos98schools.org
