Education Solutions - One Student at a Time
The goal of the Option III Pre-GED program is to prepare students for the GED test. The GED test provides an opportunity for students who have not graduated from high school to earn a high school equivalency diploma by taking and passing these tests. Students who pass the GED tests are awarded a Louisiana High School Equivalency Diploma.
Even if students in the Pre-GED/Skills Option Program do not pass the GED test before they exit the program, teachers will design instruction focused on mastery of skills up to a minimum of the ninth grade level with broad background knowledge.
Pre-GED lessons are individualized and allow students to work at their own pace. Students that are advanced and score higher on the test can accelerate the instruction while students that are having problems can be given more one-on-one attention.
