About our GED Classes
Our GED (General Educational Development) classes are designed to provide individuals 16 and older with the opportunity to prepare for and earn a high school equivalency diploma. GED graduates earn 44% more compared to individuals without a diploma or GED. This difference can add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars more in earnings over a working lifetime. It can also open doors to higher education, job training, and better employment opportunities.
Nearly all colleges and employers accept the GED credential. Millions of people have passed the GED test and gone on to college and better jobs. You can be one of them. And we’ll help you every step of the way!
In-person classes are held at our Community Center in Woodland Park and the Cripple Creek-Victor Adult Education Center to provide guidance, support, and feedback to help you succeed. We will help you prepare for the four main subject areas of the GED exam: Math, Science, Social Studies, and Reasoning Through Language Arts.

Parent / Caregiver Testimonials
Very flexible and helpful! Thank you guys so much. Helped me make very positive progress for myself.
Everyone at the GED program from CP is very helpful and helped me learn a lot, and the teachers help me understand and walk through situations when it comes to math and education.
The whole staff seems very nice and respectful. They have also been very understanding of my hectic schedule. I would recommend this program to any one looking for help to get ahead in life.
Community Partnership always makes me feel welcomed and has helped me in every way to reach my goal. I will be forever grateful for this program.
This program has aided me first with education. My teacher, after listening to my concerns, promptly linked me with other resources. Now I am also getting assistance with family, food assistance, and more help with my future. I am very grateful for Community Partnership and the staff who help me.
