Welcome
to the Developmental Skills Lab.
Returning to school as an adult is not easy, especially when
you have many responsibilities such as family, child care,
work, and transportation. However, you are not alone in your
efforts. The instructors and staff in the Developmental Skills
Lab are here to help you in reaching your goals. Our
GED Test Preparation,
High School Diploma, and
Basic Skills programs are specifically designed for
adult students who study at their own pace. We wish you
success and hope you find your experience with us both supportive and rewarding.
