GED®/ABE Program

The GED®/ABE program offers day and evening classes at the following times: 8:30-11:00 AM (Monday to Thursday), 12:15-2:45 PM (Monday to Thursday) and 6:30-9:00 PM (Monday and Wednesday). All students (new and returning) who are interested in enrolling in GED®/ABE day or evening classes are required to attend a placement evaluation. Students who are eligible for GED® classes based on their placement test scores will need to attend an orientation session to complete the registration process.

At placement testing, students will take the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE). TABE scores are used to determine the levels of math and reading classes in which students are placed to help them prepare to take the GED® exam. The TABE test takes approximately four (4) hours. Students will receive a copy of their TABE scores via email and will be notified by the ALC staff regarding their eligibility to take classes. A valid, current government-issued picture ID for proof of age and identity is required. Open to adults aged 18 and older who are not enrolled in private or public high school.

Orientation sessions, testing, and classes are held at the Adult Learning Center located at 5100 Cleveland Street in Virginia Beach, 23462

Class Fees: Virginia Beach Residents: $30 registration DAY and EVENING.
Non-residents (living in other cities):- $40 per month DAY and $30 per month EVENING. Class fees are not refundable.
