The Pre-GED Program

The Pre-GED Program provides services to those students who need to increase their reading and math skills in order to begin working on their GED. Some students have learning differences which require more direct instruction from a teacher.

The Pre-GED Program provides this opportunity. The increased use of volunteers in the program helped Omega to continue to provide individualized instruction.
