Educational Assistance Program

What Our program is about

The IJEANA INSTITUTE’s Adult Education Program provides tutoring in basic skills classes to adults with less than a high school education in an effort to help them obtain a G.E.D. From strengthening reading, writing, or math skills to developing literacy in basic computer functions, finance, or health, the IJEANA INSTITUTE is here to help you develop the skills you need to succeed.

Why an adult education is important

  1. We believe that all adults have the right to an education that enhances their ability to affect positive changes in their lives.
  2. All adults have the right to obtain the life skills that they need to become self-sufficient, actively participating members of society.
  3. All adults have the right to complete their education through the high school level.
  4. Adult basic education provides basic skills instruction in reading, writing, and math to adult learners functioning below the ninth-grade level.

GENERAL EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT (G.E.D.) TESTING

The General Educational Development (GED) test is their chance to get the job or career that they want. The GED test credential is the only high school equivalency credential recognized in all 50 states.

We believe that everyone deserves a second chance. Graduates prove their academic skills and knowledge in the basic subject areas of reading, writing, math, science, and social studies.
