Empowering Adults with High School Diploma Test Preparation


Caitlin Franco is the founder and executive director of Equality Charter School in the Bronx, New York. In addition to serving middle school and high school students, Caitlin Franco and Equality Charter School offer an adult education program to help individuals in the Bronx community. The adult learning program provides high school diploma test preparation, computer literacy courses, and Microsoft Office lessons. 

Equality Charter School’s high school diploma preparation focuses on New York State’s Test Assessing Secondary Completion (TASC). This test has officially replaced the GED (General Educational Development) test in the state. The TASC evaluates students in five areas: reading, writing, social studies, science, and mathematics. 

Equality Charter School’s high school diploma test preparation lasts three months. Classes are held Monday through Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m. Lessons are taught by qualified tutors. In addition to the tutoring sessions, adults receive career guidance and skills training.
