Adult Education Services
Adult Basic Education classes provide the opportunity for adults to improve their basic skills or study for the HiSET - Missouri's High School Equivalency test. When you are ready to begin class, you and your instructor will design a plan of study, which will help you to reach your goals. St. Louis Adult Education and Literacy Program is pleased to be able to provide this opportunity to you, and we hope that you will join us soon.
*On January 1, 2014 the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) replaced the GED exam with the new HiSET exam as a measure to award High School Equivalency (HSE). The new HiSET exam is now computer-based.
