Adult Education

Published or Revised August 13, 2010

Paris Junior College Adult Education and Family Literacy welcomes student participation in our intensive GED (General Educational Development) or ESL (English as a Second Language) program.

From the below list of classes, select the class day, time and location of the course you would like to attend. Then simply come to that class at the location and time stated on the schedule. Please be aware that class start dates and details vary by site.

GED and ESL classes are offered at no cost. However, participation and a commitment to attend each class day are essential to help students accomplish their learning goals.

Program Requirements

• All students must complete a baseline and progress test and adhere to attendance policy rules and department requirements.
• Sixteen-year-olds must be court-ordered and submit a copy of this document the first class day.
• Seventeen-year-olds must bring a school withdrawal from the last school attended the first class day. Seventeen-year-olds may also be court-ordered.
• Parents or guardians of 16- or 17-year-old students must be present the first class day to complete release form information prior to class admittance.
