As defined by Wikipedia, a G.E.D. is "...a battery of five tests that, when passed, certifies the taker has American or Canadian highschool level academic skills. To pass the GED Tests and earn a GED credential, test takers must score higher than 40 percent of graduating high school seniors nationwide. Some jurisdictions require that students pass additional tests, such as an English proficiency exam or civics test."

If you are a Northwest Indian OIC client and have not yet earned a highschool diploma or G.E.D. we encourage you to pursue your education. You will be able to work at your own level and at your own pace in a non-judgemental atmosphere with licensed teachers. There is no cost to you for attending these sessions (Thursdays 2-4 p.m.). The only thing required of you is a willingness to learn. All of us here at the Northwest Indian OIC wish you well in your academic pursuits.
