PWCS Adult Education is offering the General Educational Development (GED®) program, which awards a high school equivalency certificate upon successful completion. Registrants are tested with state approved assessments to determine the proper level of placement in classes. Class instructors monitor student progress and advise them as to when they are ready to take the official GED® Test. The official GED® Get Ready practice test is often used to determine test readiness. Class instruction is standards based and follows the College and Career Readiness Standards and instructors are highly qualified.

ALL costs, including for books and exam fees, will be FREE to City of Manassas residents. 

Successful GED graduates will receive $250 worth of gift certificates to participating Manassas restaurants and retailers, courtesy of The City of Manassas, as congratulations.
