Weekly Schedule

Bozeman Adult Learning Center

Once a student has completed an orientation session, weekly instructional meetings will be scheduled.

The time it will take to complete preparation for the HiSET exam depends on many factors including a student's previous academic experience, commitment, and follow-through on assigned tasks.

In order to complete the HiSET exam in a timely manner, students are expected to attend scheduled instructional meetings as well as complete their assignments outside of class.

English for Speakers of Other Language (ESOL)

The Bozeman Adult Learning Center's ESOL classes are designed to meet the individual language and cultural understanding needs of non-native English speakers.

Classes are offered at the beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, and include speaking, listening, pronunciation, grammar, reading, and writing practice. All skill level classes also include American culture instruction through hands-on activities, guest speakers, and field trips. Also available are advanced civics and citizenship classes for eligible students.

ALL classes are available in-person and online. Join our Facebook group Bozeman ESOL Classes for up-to-date information about classes, English practice including videos and activities, and opportunities to meet other students!

HiSet - High School Equivalency Exam

The Montana PSI HiSET® is a battery of tests which measures a student's academic skills as compared to a high school graduate. If passed, a Montana High School Equivalency (HSE) Diploma is issued which is accepted by institutions of higher education and employers as equivalent to a regular high school diploma.
