High School Equivalency (GED/Hi-SET) and Adult Basic Education (ABE) Programs

Out-of-school youth and adults can enroll in one of our high school equivalency / adult basic education programs. ABE classes help individuals improve their skills in reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. Students take classes to reach personal and career goals, and to prepare for a High School Equivalency exam such as the GED or HiSET.

Reading, writing, and math classes are available at different levels, including beginning literacy (reading) and beginning numeracy (math). All Catholic Charities ABE classes are currently offered during the hours of 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and are available to anyone 16 years and older with at least an intermediate level of English proficiency. Programs are located in South Boston, Dorchester, and Lynn.

The High School Diploma Program, offered at Catholic Charities Notre Dame Education Center in South Boston, enables students with 10 or more high-school credits to complete their studies and obtain a diploma from Boston’s Cathedral High School. This program is designed for Boston youth ages 16-24.
