Do you need to earn your High School Equivalence Diploma (GED) to get a job or move forward? We provide free classes to meet your needs and help you reach your goal.

In- Person classes are always encouraged for a more successful learning preparation, but we understand when virtual must be the option.
Virtual Learning allows students to join and interact live with the in-person students and instructor from their computer, device or phone.  Students with barriers to attending class in person can apply for Virtual Classes.

Prospective students must attend a four day orientation before beginning classes. Students will receive an initial confirmation email that they are registered. Students will later receive an email with more information about our program and will be asked to confirm their attendance for the upcoming orientation. Confirmation is vital to preparing for testing and attendance during orientation.

What to expect during orientation.

During orientation, students will complete registration forms, initial placement tests (just a starting point), attend actual classes, register for a GED account as well as a free Khan Academy and an Essential Education account, and most importantly, have some fun.

Because we are a grant funded program, we have guidelines that we must follow. And one of those is that each student be given an initial placement test and post test. There are three placement tests(a language arts, a math, and a reading comprehension) given during orientation.

Why Aspire at Polaris?

We want all students to reach the goal of obtaining their diploma and preparing for college, skills training or employment. Because we are a smaller program, we have the opportunity to get to know each of our students and provide a personal learning experience. We have highly qualified, award winning instructors that create a successful learning environment.
