High School Equivalency Classes
Program Details
St. Joseph Adult Education provides free classes for adults aged 17 years and older who are no longer attending school or receiving homeschool services to obtain their high school equivalency (GED).
Classes are held Tuesday & Thursday mornings from 9 am-12 pm, and Monday & Wednesday evenings from 5 pm-8 pm at the Cameron United Methodist Church Loft. To attend classes, you must first sign up for orientation, which is held monthly, July through March.
ORIENTATION: Orientation includes:
An introduction to our program, expectations, completing enrollment paperwork, and assessments in reading, math, and language. These assessments help your teacher determine what you know and what you need to learn. To sign up for orientation, call our office at 816-671-4020. Make sure you mention that you want to attend the Cameron location. You may also scan the QR code to sign up online.
MATERIALS: All materials are provided.
