Why The GED?
We utilize the GED prep material and curriculum for our core subjects due to the transitory nature of the refugee life. This test allows them the needed credentials to apply to a variety of colleges internationally.

It is recognized by nearly all colleges in the U.S. and Canada and serves as a bench mark for acceptance.
