Adult Education offers GED preparation and the ABLE program. You do not need to be a resident of the Lima City School District to participate in the ABLE/GED program.
Adult Basic and Literacy Education (ABLE) Program
The West Central Ohio ABLE/GED offers free Adult Basic Literacy Education classes for adults, including those who have a high school diploma. The program also offers academic support for those wishing to enter post-secondary education and/or the workforce. The ABLE Transitions Program bridges the gap to college.
The program offers basic skills in reading, math, writing and GED preparation. ABLE is also available online for those needing flexible scheduling. Online materials are available at all times of the day for those with internet access, an email address, basic computer and reading skills, and attendance at an ABLE orientation.
