Adult Basic Education

Students who need a review of English grammar/spelling and math are trained in these areas with the goal of making them more employable for clerical/office work. Students are taught the rules in spelling, grammar and punctuation and then given daily assignments and quizzes over the rules and their applications. In math students review the basics of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions and percents. Students work on daily assignments and are required to achieve 85% on daily work and quizzes to advance.
