High School Equivalency preparation classes prepare you for the high school equivalency tests. Many support programs are available to help you along the way.
English as a Second Language (ESL) classes strengthen English reading, writing, and listening skills for employment, college, and student success.
Registration & Orientation for Kishwaukee College Adult Education (High School Equivalency and English as a Second Language) is held before the start of each semester.
The Literacy Program has one purpose: to improve the reading, math or English language skills for adults whose literacy levels are below the 9th grade.
