Transforming Lives

GED Classes in the Covid-19 World
The ALC has a completely remote/"virtual" option, as well as a traditional in-person option, for registration and classes. In order to enroll in our in-person classes, you must show proof of COVID vaccination. Click the "Become a Student" button above to fill out a registration form. Then come back and click "TABE Test Sign-up" to choose a date and time for your intake assessment (after July 17th).
A single TABE test appointment is all that is required to register, and students can choose to do it in person (at the ALC in Milwaukee) or remotely/from home in a live video session. We will assist you in connecting to the video testing session, but you must have a computer, laptop, or Chromebook device with a video camera and microphone to test remotely. (Phones and/or tablets can not be used for this.) You must have a quiet environment in which to take the TABE test, uninterrupted for up to 2 hours, that has reliable internet service. After that, everything else can be conducted online: classwork, live meetings with teachers, 1-to-1 tutoring, assignments and homework, even final GED exams!
We have also resumed our traditional, fully "in-person" option for students. Please note that proof of COVID-19 vaccination is required to participate in in-person classes. See below for details.
Both options will continue to have the same weekly schedule, with AM & PM sections offered. ALC classes run Monday through Thursday, either 9am to 11:30am, or 4:00pm to 6:30pm.

In keeping with CDC and Wisconsin DHS guidelines, all visitors (students, staff, and volunteers) will need to wear a mask while attending classes or receiving services inside our facility.
All students, staff, and volunteers enrolled in in-person classes will need to show proof of full vaccination when starting classes. Please call, text, or email with any questions.

Our Impact
The Adult Learning Center is a school for people looking to earn their GED or High School Equivalency Diploma. Our students come to the ALC seeking to improve their lives. They may have been shut out of better-paying work opportunities, denied promotions at their current jobs, or they may simply want more confidence in their ability to support their own children (or grandchildren) with their homework.
Most of our students express a desire to continue on to higher education at college or some type of specialized certification that will allow them to pursue a career that is both personally-fulfilling, and pays a true family-sustaining wage.
