NIC Kellogg offering free adult education classes

KELLOGG­— The North Idaho College Silver Valley Adult Education Center in Kellogg is now accepting new students, with fall classes beginning Sept. 5. The classes prepare students to take the national GED test.

The Adult Education program provides instruction for individuals, 16 years of age and older, who have withdrawn from public school and for adults who have graduated but still have a desire to upgrade their skills. The staff and instructors at the AEC meet with students to assess their needs and goals, determine their current educational level, and create an education plan. Tuition and learning materials are provided at no cost. Understanding basic math, writing and reading skills gives individuals a solid foundation for future educational opportunities, higher earning potential and improved quality of life.

Those interested should contact Silver Valley Adult Education Center located at 232 Main Street in Kellogg at (208) 783-1254 to schedule a mandatory orientation and assessment.
