The GED Exam is given in four sections: Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Any student can take any portion of the exam whenever they're ready, and are encouraged to do so.
We utilize interactive computer learning alongside pencil-and-paper workbooks in both small groups and individual settings, tailored to each student's needs and progress.
Students have the option to be matched with a for one-on-one support outside of class. Our classes are available both in-person and online. Once preparation is complete with All The Way Up, students are directed to a testing site to take the exam, and diplomas are issued by the State of New Jersey.
