What is the cost to take a class?
Classes are offered at no cost to the student by HFM BOCES Adult Literacy are possible through funding from the New York State Education Department.
I want to take the GED Test. Why should I attend an orientation/screening?
The orientation/screening helps determine if a student will be enrolled in a skill development class or if they have the reading, writing and math skills necessary to prepare for the GED high school equivalency exam. Attendance at the screening is not a guarantee of placement in a class.
Is transportation or childcare available for students?
Unfortunately, we do not offer transportation or childcare.
