Adult Education Program

Adult Education Application Packet

This program is designed to provide educational opportunities for adult Native Americans who did not finish high school and will provide the basic education skills needed to acquire their GED Diploma. Many Native Americans have earned the GED diploma to get better jobs, higher wages, or to continue their education. Most employers and colleges consider the GED diploma equivalent to a high school diploma.

The Choctaw Natin GED program has qualified instructors to help prepare you to take the GED test. Classes are conducted within the 10 1/2 counties of the Chotaw Nation. In class, the instructors teach the Language Arts, Reading, Writing, Grammar and Mathematics. Each class lasts approximately three months. There are no costs for the classes; books and class supplies are provided for each student and the state GED testing fees are paid.

Eligibility requirements:

Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood (CDIB)
Government/State identification (driver's license, etc. .)
Must be 16 years of age or older, restrictions apply to persons under 18 years of age
