As your eye follows your pen strokes, your

attention shifts to a state that allows fresh thoughts, new perspectives, and creative insights to flow unhindered by anxiety or effort. Remember as in life, there is no

erasers to go back and fix our mistakes. Zen art is the same way; there are no

mistakes.

The Adult Education, GED, and ESL programs provide instruction that helps individuals acquire the academic skills necessary for employment or admission to college and occupational or training programs. Anyone over 18 years of age or older who is not enrolled in another school is eligible for enrollment. Please call 308.635.6769 regarding special enrollment requirements for 16- and 17-year-olds. Some students may wish to work on all the subjects necessary to take the GED tests and others may only need to improve skills, such as math or reading, to improve their employment opportunities.
