ABE

Funds from the federal Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA), as well as some state dollars, provide for Adult Basic Education and literacy services in order to assist adults to become literate and obtain the knowledge and skills necessary for employment and self-sufficiency; to assist adults who are parents to obtain the educational skills necessary to become full partners in the education of their children; to assist adults in the completion of a secondary school education; and to ensure adults are ready for, have access to, and complete college and career pathways.

AHSP

Adult High School Programs are funded by the state and serve adults who do not have a high school diploma. Components of the AHSP program include core curriculum, electives, support services and the high school proficiency exam. Most programs are self-paced and competency-based with open enrollment and exit. Programs also prepare students to take the GED tests. Many of the programs have incorporated instruction in English as a Second Language due to the increasing demand from Nevada's fast growing immigrant population.

GED

The Tests of General Educational Development (GED Tests) provide adults who did not complete a formal high school program the opportunity to certify their attainment of high school-level academic knowledge and skills.
