About Adult Basic Education

Adult Basic Education, a program of Moorhead Community Education, offers day, evening and online learning classes for anyone age 17 or older who is not presently enrolled in a secondary school and whose educational skills are below the 12th grade level in any of the basic academic areas of reading, math, writing or speaking English.

It's never too late to…

  • make more money. GED holders make an average of $7,000 more per year than those without a GED or high school diploma.

  • go to college. GED graduates can enter most colleges, universities and technical schools.

  • build your career. Employers consider GED graduates the same as high school graduates in regard to hiring, salary and opportunity for advancement.

  • help your children. Set a good example. Education is for a lifetime.

It's never too late to learn.
