The mission of the literacy program is to provide educational opportunities for adults 18 years or older who have not completed high school or who would like assistance with basic education skills. This includes competence in reading, writing, speaking, problem-solving, or mathematics at a level necessary to function in society, on a job, or in the family. Sixteen- and 17-year-olds who are out of school may enter only under special regulations. High school graduates who would like to enroll in refresher courses are welcome. There is no registration fee for any literacy program or course.

ACC offers a $25 gas card & one free college course to all graduates of our GED and Adult High School programs, as well as an annual graduation ceremony in May of each year.
