Graphic Media Design Suppose you want to announce or sell something, amuse or persuade someone, explain a complicated system or demonstrate a process. In other words, you have a message you want to communicate.

Graphic designers work with drawn, painted, photographed, or computer-generated images (pictures), but they also design the letterforms that make up various typefaces found in movie credits and TV ads; in books, magazines, and menus; and even on computer screens. From humble things like gum wrappers to huge things like billboards to the T-shirt you’re wearing, graphic design informs, persuades, organizes, stimulates, locates, identifies, attracts attention and provides pleasure. The designer works with a variety of communication tools in order to convey a message from a client to a particular audience.  Do you like working with computers?  Are you a visual person?  Do you appreciate something laid out well?  Do you like to communicate with others?  Are you creative or artistic?

Credentialed teachers and instructional aides are available at all times to assist as needed on an individual basis. GED Preparation students work at their own pace and attend as their schedules permit.

The GED Testing program has been used for over 65 years to measure and evaluate the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue higher education, obtain specific jobs, gain promotions, and achieve personal goals. A GED credential is considered the equivalent of a high school diploma and is recognized throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. It is offered in both English and Spanish.

Students with special needs can apply for accommodations in advance.  The General Educational Development exam is a national test designed to measure the skills and concepts usually learned during four years of high school.

To pass, you must receive a standard score of at least 410 on each of the five tests and an average standard score of 450 or higher.  Those taking the GED for the first time must pre-register at the Adult School Main Office on Cuesta Drive (see map on page 39). The test fee is $150 for all five tests. Cash or credit card.  The fee includes the GED certificate.

The fee to re-take a previously failed test is $25 per test if registered through ABC Adult School. Examinees must be at least 18 years of age. A government issued photo ID is required.  If at least 40 hours of preparation (Learning Center, Online or Distance Learning) is completed and a pre and post CASAS test is taken at ABC Adult School, a $40 voucher good toward the GED test fee or the GED test make-up fee will be given (September - December, 2013 test dates).

 H igh school diploma students can complete most of their course work at home, using Internet-based, online classes.  GED preparation students can review math via online courses.  Students should plan to devote ten hours weekly to their online course work.  A credentialed teacher is available during office hours by phone, email, and in person for assistance with course content or to troubleshoot technical problems.  A final, in-person exam is required for all online courses.

Learn, Understand and Grow With Your Child!

The Parent Education Program is based on the premise that learning is a natural ongoing process. Classes are designed to train parents to create supportive and positive learning environments for their children that will stimulate their physical, intellectual, social and emotional growth. This is done through participation, observation and discussion. The curriculum is a readiness program that includes pre-reading, math concepts, science, music and motor skill development, in addition to various parenting topics. Children and parents learn together.
