GED, ELL, and College Prep Program

ELL classes are available for students whose primary language is not English. All instruction and materials are free. Students can learn reading, writing, listening, and speaking English at different levels of difficulty based on their need. Morning and evening classes are offered. Students can choose to attend class two, three, or more days a week. ELL students also meet with advisors to discuss career planning and transitioning to college or employment. 

Students who are working on their high school credential or taking college-level classes are welcome to enroll in ELL classes at the same time for language support. 

ELL classes are primarily held at Lakeshore Manitowoc and Lakeshore Sheboygan. ELL open lab classes are provided at our Cleveland campus to support students enrolled in college-level courses. User-friendly online classes are also available.

The Adult Education program gives students, at any educational level, the tools they need to be successful in life. Basic reading, writing, math, and computer skills, along with study skills, career services, and civics education are taught for those needing to learn or improve these areas.
