Martinsville Adult Education Program provides comprehensive services to learners 18 years of age or older who are not enrolled in a K-12 school. Adult Education offers access to quality educational programs to assist learners to:

• Earn a General Educational Development (GED®)

• Connect to employment and job training opportunities

• Transition to post-secondary education

• Become proficient in English

Adult Education assists adult learners to acquire the academic and employment skills to be college and career ready!

Adults who complete basic high school education have the opportunity to earn the equivalent of a high school diploma by taking the General Educational Development or the GED® test. This test is available to citizens who have not graduated from high school to demonstrate the level of achievement normally achieved by completing a course of study in high school. The GED® comprehensive exams cover reading, math, science and social studies. The pass score for the GED® is 145 or greater per subject.
