Welcome to LifeWorks High School Equivalency Program 

Our High School Equivalency Program prepares you to pass the General Educational Development (GED) exam to obtain your high school equivalency certificate. The GED exam includes four subject area tests: Reasoning Through Language Arts, Mathematical Reasoning, Social Studies, and Science. 

Program objectives are to increase students’ academic levels, prepare students for the GED exam, improve job skills to reach employment goals, and access other LifeWorks services as needed.

Classroom education includes self-paced instruction, small group learning exercises, lectures, videos, and experiential learning activities. Lesson plans are tailored to meet students’ academic needs. Classes are offered year-round, and students can enroll at any time.

All HSE services (such as classes and tests) are FREE.
