Community Action’s Adult Education Program provides quality, goal-based educational services for the people of Skagit County to prepare them for engagement in the community (e.g. work, health care situations, parent/teacher relationships), post-secondary education, and the current workplace.

English classes help students improve their English language reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. The program also supports the educational development of children by providing early education activities and school-appropriate homework support for the children of students enrolled in some English Language classes.

The Adult Education Program also offers small-group learning and tutoring for adults who are planning to take their GED tests. We are not a school. We work with people to develop their individual goals and education plan, and we modify how we engage students depending on their learning styles.

The Pre-GED class meets three times per week. It is for students who did not complete 10th grade and/or who have been out of school a long time. The class provides extra practice with Reading, Writing, and Math to prepare students for the next more intensive level of study.

The morning fast-track GED class meets M-Th, one day per subject. You can enroll anytime and choose which subjects you need to work on. Minimum assessment scores required.
