WelcomeAdult Basic Education (ABE) is a free program dedicated to providing opportunities for adults to learn the basic academic and English language skills they need to meet their goals in the workplace and the community. ABE is designed to improve the educational level of adults, out-of-school youth and non-English speaking persons in our ten-county service area of Southwest Idaho. Many utilize ABE services to prepare for the GED test. Get Started Locations Testing Contact ABE Services
EligibilityEligible students are adults over 16 years of age seeking to prepare for life, work, or post-secondary education with skill levels below the college level. Why Adult Basic Education?There are many reasons to return to school: preparing for and/or taking your GED, improving basic skills, upgrading skills for work, or obtaining a better job. All that's required is taking that first step. How quickly you reach your goals will depend on how much effort you put into achieving them. We're here to help you do that. There is no charge to students for these programs. Steps to Get Started
