Congratulations on your decision to further pursue your education.

interesados en adquirir un Certificado Equivalente de la Escuela Secundaria
- California (GED).
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
I don’t really know why I didn’t finish
school before. I was young, and we
struggled. My mom and I were even
homeless for a while. A friend
encouraged me to go back to school,
so I just walked into the main office
at Fresno Adult School. They gave
me an assessment and placed me in
the subjects and levels that were right
for me.
Levels of Instruction Include:
Adult Basic Education Classes (ABE)
(Placement Score less than 236)
All ABE students encouraged to sign up for Skills Tutor as well.
ABE I: Skills Tutor | Grades 2-3 English and Math
ABE II: Skills Tutor | Grades 4-5, +6 English and Math

(Classes Offered)
Now I’m learning new things every
day. My teacher, Mr. Trang, is great,
and he is very determined to teach
me how to solve problems rather than
just give me answers. And I like that
he’s strict. It helps me because I never
really had anyone set firm guidelines
for me.
I’ve already passed three of four tests,
which gives me self-respect, knowing
that I accomplished something. I am
ready to keep going and graduate!

CTE
WHAT IS CTE?
CTE Programs are designed for students who are interested in
full certificate programs or individual classes that will update
their skills, prepare them for a vocation change and equip them
with the necessary tools to start their careers in the workplace.
All pathways result in industry-recognized certification. Find out
how our graduates are successful in obtaining jobs in Education,
Health, Information Technology, and Service industries after
completing short term, low cost/free programs.
I look forward to
graduating from
the LVN program!
This program isn’t
easy - it’s five
days a week, 6 to
8 hours a day, for
14 months. We
have to score 78%
or higher on every
assignment. I’m
also doing clinicals
at St. Agnes
Medical Center.
Career counseling, job search assistance and follow-up are provided.
HOW DO I ENROLL?
1. Register for TABE Test - Pay for TABE Testing fee, $15.00 at:
I’m doing this so I can have a good career with a
flexible schedule. I have three kids, and getting this
far is all about organization, priorities, and
commitment. I got a scholarship from Workforce
Connection. But even without a scholarship, this
program is very affordable. And thanks to the FAS
LVN program, I’m already planning to transition into
the RN program at Fresno City College. I am ready
to make my career goals a reality.

Our ESL program focuses on helping you improve your listening,

ESL & CITIZENSHIP PROGRAM SCHEDULE
I teach English as a Second Language (ESL)
and high school credit recovery programs for
adults who want to earn their high school
diploma. My job is to give students tools and
guidance. For all my classes, I set high
expectations and find that students do best
when they are challenged.
We teach the same state standards at Fresno
Adult School that are taught in a traditional
school. Those standards help develop critical
thinking and the reading, writing, and analyzing
skills that allow students to dig deeper into the
lessons. One teaching strategy I use is see,
think, and wonder. Students look at a picture
and then they write what they see. Then
students describe what they think is happening.
Then students wonder and ask and answer the
‘whys’ about the picture. I am ready to give
adults the skills needed to be successful.

from education.
I get encouragement from my children and
grandchildren. My granddaughter asked me
if I was going to school. I said, “yes mija,
grandma is going to school.” I heard my son
telling someone that I was getting a degree.
It’s important to me that my children know
that school is important. Now I can find a
