Literacy Classes

Our Literacy Program helps students learn to read and write, often for the first time, significantly improving their communication skills and enhancing their independence.

GED Preparation Classes

We offers GED (General Educational Development) exam preparation classes to students who are unable to complete the Greek school system. The GED exams are challenging, but with preparation classes for each of the subjects tested, students can pass the exams and obtain an American high school equivalency credential, which opens up more opportunities for their future.
