GED Preparation

We use high quality assessments to create an individualized study plan for each student that enrolls in the program. We specialize in personal interaction between our students and our team of certified teachers. Literacy and Beyond's staff of teachers work tirelessly to deliver one-on-one and group learning opportunities to ensure that ALL of our students have a positive learning experience while accomplishing their educational goals.

Adult Literacy Instruction

Literacy and Beyond provides adult literacy instruction by licensed teachers for students who need extra help with reading and writing in order to pass their GED tests. After careful assessment, students participate in one on one tutoring that provide the support and encouragement they need to build skills and confidence in language arts.

The competitive 2GEN G.R.A.D.S. (Graduates Receiving Associate Degree Support) Scholarship provides each recipient with yearly stipends of $500 for books/laptop and $1200 for transportation needs or to help cover the cost of childcare while attending classes at SC4. Students also benefit from an on-site college and career advisor who guides students from application through graduation at SC4. Additionally, the college advisor supports current 2GEN GED students at the 2GEN Learning Center helping them prepare for their next steps after earning their GED.

Early Childhood Education

Developed and directed by Literacy and Beyond's qualified early learning staff, this program for 0-3 year-old's is designed to integrate play, discovery, and early literacy activities in a safe and stimulating environment. Learning goals are established for the preschoolers in this program, and parents are encouraged and equipped to reinforce these objectives at home. Childcare is provided at no cost to women enrolled in the GED program.

Professional Counseling and Coaching

2GEN adult students can receive counseling services from Lynda Ross, MA, LPC, NCC at the 2GEN Learning Center. Counseling is voluntary and provided at no cost to students. Students also attend 45 minute Women's Empowerment classes twice monthly taught by our licensed counselor designed to discover and build on the strengths that each student possesses. This extra support offers students the opportunity to build resilience empowering them to persevere through the challenges of improving their education and leading to an all around healthy life.
