Adult Education
Adult & Community Education
Adult & Community Education School, also known as ACE, is the largest provider of adult education programs in Leon County. We offer GED® classes as a way to earn a high school diploma, English classes for speakers of other languages and high school credit classes to high school students and adults who need to improve their grade or earn class credits needed to graduate.
ACE serves more than a thousand students each year from Leon and the surrounding counties. All of our programs support our mission of providing educational opportunities that enable adult learners (16 and older) to become responsible, independent contributors in the community in which they live and work.
Our school motto reflects our goal to be: A Great Start for a Better Future!
High School Credit Recovery
Students enrolled in high school who need to earn a credit to stay on track to graduate or improve a grade of D or F to raise their grade point average may register to be a co-enrolled student with written permission from their high school guidance counselor. Students have access to both an online curriculum and a certified teacher to help explain and guide them through the course. Class attendance is required for tests, and teachers are available at regularly scheduled times after school, Monday-Thursday at Chiles, Godby, Leon, Lincoln, Rickards, and our main campus.
GED®
Our GED® classes prepare students for academic and career success by teaching the skills needed to pass the GED® test and earn a state of Florida high school diploma. Our morning, afternoon, and evening classes in ten locations and online make it convenient for adults to continue their education. We accept students at all levels, and registration is throughout the year so students can start as soon as they are ready.
ESOL – English
ESOL classes teach English to Speakers of Other Languages. They offer listening, speaking, reading, writing, and grammar skills to adults 16 and older, with limited English. Classes are offered at beginning, intermediat,e and advanced levels to help students develop practical communication skills and a deeper understanding of American culture. Our ESOL classes are also offered online.
