Our Mission Statement
Tens of millions of American adults are functionally illiterate, and this illiteracy affects all segments of the population: male, female, white and black, suburban and urban. Many high school students and even graduates cannot read or write correct English. These people are unable to do simple mathematical operations. Too many high school graduates cannot score high enough on SAT tests to enroll in a college or university and some of those who do enroll cannot continue their education without remedial courses. Our mission, then is:
To take the non-reader to a level that he/she can read and write English.
To advance the functionally illiterate to a ninth grade level.
To prepare dropouts to pass the GED examination.
To teach newcomers good English as a Second Language.
To equip the learner with life coping and job readiness skills so he/she can be employable upon completion of the programs.
Cottage Education Corporation has designed and developed a curricula that addresses the needs of learners ranging from the non-readers to preparing for GED and college entrance examinations.
Our Objectives
- To take the non-readers to the eighth grade level of literacy so that they can function in society.
- To prepare the learners to pass the GED examination and obtain their High School Equivalency Diploma.
- To equip the learners with life coping and job readiness skills so they can be employable upon completion of the program.
The programs are designed specifically to accommodate diverse learners on an open entry and open exit basis.
Each learner has an individual and personalized plan to answer his/her need upon diagnostic Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE).
