George Stone Adult Academy Offers GED, ESOL Classes

September 16, 2013

The Adult Academy at George Stone Technical Center has several opportunities throughout the community to prepare for the GED test.  All of the classes have open entry/open exit, which means you can enroll at anytime and exit when you are ready to take the GED exam.

The first step of enrollment is to take the TABE Assessment (Test of Adult Basic Education) to identify areas where improvement is needed prior to the  exam.  The assessment is given on Fridays at 8:00 a.m. at the George Stone Technical Center. There is a $10 fee and a photo identification is required.  For more information about the TABE test, contact the George Stone Assessment department at (850) 941-6200, ext.2160.

Tuition for all adult education programs is $30 per term for students with verifiable Florida residency for the previous 12 month period or $120 for out-of-state tuition.
