Adult Education & Literacy

Take the next step to your future. Adult Education and Literacy (AEL) provide adults with the opportunity to:

  • Improve their basic skills
  • Study for the High School Equivalency (HSE)/HiSET And GED tests
  • Enhance their workforce and college readiness skills
  • Improve English language skills

All classes are offered at no cost to the students.

The AEL program is funded through the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and is the only accredited program in Jefferson county. That is why these classes can be offered at no cost to students. However to maintain funding, it is important that enrolled students demonstrate a commitment to the program with regard to attendance and academic achievement including a pre and post test to measure academic gain.

Jefferson College is pleased to be able to provide this opportunity for students to discover their future, and invite potential students to register!

Register for AEL / HSE classes by calling (636) 481-3437,
emailing JCAEL@jeffco.edu, or
by submitting a Registration Form.
