High School Equivalency (HSE) Programs
These programs are designed to assist adults who do not have a high school diploma and wish to develop basic skills or prepare for the High School Equivalency Exam (e.g. GED® or HiSET). Classes are held in the morning and evening, in online and blended format. Constitution review classes are offered on Saturdays. High School Equivalency courses are offered in Spanish and English.

Literacy Programs
Two literacy programs – in English and Spanish – help students develop basic reading and writing skills in English or in Spanish. The goal is to help students with emerging literacies to transition into ESL or HSE classes. Tutors conduct sessions one-on-one and in small groups. For more information, please call (708) 456-0300, Ext. 3730.
Transition Programs
The AE department offers two types of transition programs that prepare students for college and a career.
1) Bridge to College: Students are enrolled in HSE classes that help them improve literacy, language or numeracy skills while preparing to enter a variety of college courses with a career pathway. Bridge programs help students by applying your learning to a career field.
2) Integrated Education and Training program: Students are co-enrolled in a HSE course and a certificate program in the career and technical education (CTE) fields. The HSE instructor helps students succeed in in the certificate course by team-teaching with the CTE instructor and teaching a support class to help with homework, test preparation, and review of class lessons and materials.
