Esperanza, Inc. presents the GED Español Program, a great resource to advance Hispanic Education in the Cleveland area, and an ongoing part of our Spanish Adult Learning Programs, and college mentoring activities.
Esperanza stands as the sole nonprofit organization in Ohio that offers academic materials, audio resources, and instructional support in Spanish for those pursuing a General Education Diploma (GED).
The General Educational Development Test consists of four subject tests that, once passed, earn you a high school equivalency credential. The four subjects are language arts, math, social studies, and science.
The program recognizes and respects the cultural diversity within the Latinx community. By offering GED resources in Spanish, Esperanza acknowledges the importance of tailoring educational support to the cultural background of the learners, fostering a more inclusive and supportive learning environment.
The GED program at Esperanza allows individuals to set their own pace. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for members of the Latinx community who may have unique scheduling constraints due to work, family, or other commitments. It enables them to pursue education in a way that accommodates their specific needs.
