Adult Education
The administration, faculty, and staff of the Ouachita Area Adult Education Center are experienced, ready, and able to offer more than just GED preparation and testing at our facility at 1735 East Sullenberger in Malvern, AR and our Sheridan, AR center at 307 West Pine Street. If you are preparing to enter college or any other post-secondary school you can visit us to brush up on your basic skills for your entrance examination. If you are preparing to enter the workforce you can come by and complete our Workforce Alliance for Growth in the Economy (WAGE™) Program. You can earn any of three state recognized certificates. They are: Employability, Industrial, and Clerical.
English as a Second Language (ESL), and work-based basic education are available to individuals or business/industries. These services, as well as others, are FREE*. Our staff will come to your location to work with your employees.
Remember - All of our services are free of charge - the only thing that you have to provide is your interest, energy, and effort.
