Cumberland County Adult Education is open, and our staff is working to help you attain your educational goals

Did you know that on the average, a person with a high school diploma or GED® earns $9,400 per year more than someone without a high school diploma? The higher a person's educational level, the higher their earnings.

The Adult Basic Education (ABE) Program is a highly structured, research-based program designed to build twenty-first-century skills that enable students to successfully transition to postsecondary education and/or the workplace.

Free General Educational Development (GED) preparation, reading skills, and workforce-specific classes are offered in the morning (Mon.-Fri 8:30 am - 12 noon), afternoon (Mon-Fri 12:30 pm - 2 pm), and evening (Mon. 4 pm - 7 pm) to maximize convenience and accessibility.

Cumberland County Adult Education can help you every step of the way. If you are 18 years or older and have withdrawn from school, we can help you determine if you're GED-ready and provide free classes if you need to brush up on your skills before the test.
