Our adult education certified instructors complement classroom  instruction with learning software to advance -at a faster pace- the student’s reading ability, HSE/GED® preparation and English for speakers of other languages.

LVMC also offers college and career readiness workshops and training opportunities. LVMC curriculum is aligned and in compliance with the Arizona Department of Education / Adult Education Services requirements.
