My tutors at Mosaic’s GED program were so helpful, caring, and dedicated. They helped me so much with getting my GED. I am now able to do what I have always wanted to do – go to school to become a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer.
Programs begin again in September.
Over 30,000 individuals living in the CSRA do not have their GED – the first and main step in the pathway to better employment, higher wages, and job satisfaction. Time and time again studies show that income is almost always proportional to education. Individuals with no high school diploma make almost $20,000 less than someone with an associate degree. In addition, people without a high school diploma are often stuck in jobs that pay minimum wage with no hope of advancement.
Our GED program is the only free, customized, and self-paced adult (age 18 and above) program in Columbia County. With its one-on-one tutoring, this structure has been particularly useful for those facing learning or developmental delays or who fall on the autism spectrum. Our tutors are retired educators who are able to accommodate their students exactly where they are in life, whether they are struggling with disability, unstable home environments, or simply the need to earn a GED during the day due to having a night shift at work. This judgment-free environment is intended to support everyone in our community who falls through the cracks of a traditional GED system.
