EDUCATION

The Education Department can help you reach your educational goals whether you are in elementary school, middle school, high school, or thinking of taking college courses.

Children in grades one through eight can receive tutoring assistance by volunteers in designated schools.

During the summer, an enrichment program for children is offered at the Center. In this program, the students learn about the community where they live while also improving their basic reading, writing, and arithmetic skills.

A dropout prevention program is available for students that are in jeopardy of dropping out of school. A case management approach addresses family as well as student needs.

If you have not finished high school, you can prepare yourself to take the General Education Development Test (GED) by taking Pre-GED or GED Classes at the Center.

If you need to work on your English reading, writing, or language skills, you can also take an English as Second Language Class.

There is also an accredited college course you can take at the Center if you are considering a college degree.

Several personal enrichment courses are also held during the year.

Class dates and times can be found by clicking on The DaVinci Center Monthly Newsletter. Additional information about the GED can be found at: www.acenet.edu/calec
