Aspire Program
The Aspire college readiness classes are for students who want to work on basic math, reading, or writing skills that help them transition into and be more successful in their college courses. These classes are a unique blend of individual study and small group lecture focusing on each student’s academic needs. There is a limit to the amount of financial aid college students may receive, so these fee-free classes are an excellent “first step” in pursuing your dreams and stretching your college dollars when you have been out of school for a while and need to strengthen your academic skills. Students may also want to work on basic academic skills to improve their chances for employment or to be eligible for better jobs at their place of employment.
Because instruction is individualized and self-paced, many people join college readiness classes to prepare for High School Equivalency Testing (GED, HiSET, TASC) as well. Our instructors are familiar with a wide range of academic materials and knowledgeable about the demands of these tests, so Aspire classes are a perfect match for students who want to attain their High School Equivalency (HSE) credential.
