Adult Education

The Iḷisaġvik College Adult Learning Center helps adults improve their basic skills in reading, writing, and mathematics for educational, vocational, and personal success. We offer General Educational Development (GED®) preparation and testing, as well as English as a Second Language (ESL) assistance. In addition, the Adult Basic Education (AE) program has incorporated College and Career Readiness assistance. The Iḷisaġvik Adult Learning Center is an open entry/open exit program. Our AE program services are also available to village residents. The program recognizes the importance of life-long learning, and that philosophy is central to the mission of Iḷisaġvik College. 

General Education Development (GED®)

The General Educational Development (GED®) now consists of four tests in the subjects of language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies, which verify high school level skills for those who successfully complete the exams. New students are initially assessed to determine academic proficiencies in various subject areas. Then staff will work with each student to design a personalized education plan with short-term and long-term goals to successfully complete the GED® requirements to facilitate gaining employment or entering a post-secondary education program.  

English as a Second Language 

The AE Program also has an ESL (English as a Second Language) component through which students may learn to improve their conversational English skills. Iḷisaġvik recognizes the importance of life-long learning, and that philosophy is central to the mission of AE/GED.
