Our GED Difference

We aren’t a “class” - For many students, classroom settings are not conducive to learning and this is a contributing factor to why they did not receive a high school diploma. Our instructors work one on one with the student and encourage their self-motivation.
We don’t have a deadline – Our students don’t have the pressure of taking the GED after a class session finishes. They take the test when they are ready and they can take as much or as little time as they need to become prepared.
We personalize student learning – Through our assessment segment, we treat every student as an individual, tailoring the program to meet their own educational needs. Some students need less focus upon reading and more upon math. Others have more challenges with writing. Each student’s work plan is constructed to emphasize their strengths and work to meet their challenges. Our students don’t work from the same book at the same time. They work at their own pace.
We identify if there is a barrier to learning - The Education Experience is not “one size fits all”. Different students need different motivation, types of assistance and varying degrees of emotional support. Our staff works with each student to identify if they have a barrier to learning that may be preventing them from achieving their goals. And the results of improved self-esteem, empowerment, knowledge and earning potential, are well worth the effort.
We don’t stop with the GED test – When our students pass the GED, we want to keep the momentum going. So we work with our graduates to provide their “next step”, whether it is guidance in options and introductions to higher institutions of learning for continuing education, looking for work or obtaining vocational training. The important aspect that we actively encourage is to keep going to truly change the economic stability of their lives for themselves and their families.
We pay for it - In an effort to reduce some of the barriers for our adult students, The Education Experience provides the following assistance for students that comply with the requirements of our program (such as attendance, studying, etc.):
- Registration and Results – the process of enrolling for a test and/or getting test results can be time consuming and overwhelming. Our staff will facilitate not only the registration for the test, but also work with the testing center to get the test results as quickly as possible.
- Testing Fees – We pay for the testing fees. The only cost to the student for our program is that they are required to purchase their own GED coursebook (currently $21). There is no charge to enroll in our program.
- Child Care – Some of our adult students are not able to continue their education, due to having to care for pre-school age children. We offer our adult students the opportunity to pre-arrange child care (age 5 and younger) in our facility, while the parent is in his or her study module.
- Transportation – We arrange transportation to and from the testing center for our students.
