DOE GED Info
Adult Education
GED/ABE/HS
Welcome to the Adult Education Center. AEC offerings include
Adult Basic Education (ABE), General Education Development (GED), and
High School Credits. Teachers use contemporary materials, methods, and
services to provide for each student's needs and learning styles.
The Goal
The goal for the majority of the students attending the AEC is to
achieve a high school diploma. Our school also appeals to students who
just want to take classes to enhance their professional
skills and work on career objectives.
Class Time
Classes meet Monday through Thursday, 8:00 am – 9:30 PM
and Friday, 8:00 am – 3:30 PM.
Registration Requirements
GED students who wish to earn a GED must come to the Center with
a valid picture ID, a state driver's license or passport and register for testing. Those who feel they
are capable of passing
the GED should go to the GED office to register
for the test.
There is
a $70 fee for the test. Those students who feel
they need practice before attempting the GED may come to the Guidance
office and register for either the Pre-GED or the TABE test. These students
may or may not choose
to take preparation classes.
HS
Students
Students who are still in high school who wish to earn a
GED or only need two credits to graduate must first withdraw from high school
before registering at the
Adult Education Center.
HS Credit Program
Students who need two or fewer credits in order to graduate from high
school may be eligible for the credit lab. These students must be
withdrawn from high school.
Registration and Tuition
There is a $30 fee for students who show 2 proofs of residency. The fee for non-resident students is $120 (all Palm Beach County community schools). For further tuition and documentation information in English, click here.
