About Our Program
The mission of adult education and literacy is to ensure that all adults who live in Texas have the skills necessary to function effectively in their personal and family lives, in the work place, and in the community. NEISD Adult Education offers FREE English as a Second Language (ESL) classes for students 19 years and older, as well as high school equivalency (HSE) (aka GED) preparation classes in English and in Spanish for students 16 years and older. Additionally, we, in partnership with NEISD Community Education, offer Career Training Programs that lead to Workforce Certifications. Scholarships are available to those students who qualify.
Texas Workforce Commission
Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) sponsors NEISD Adult Education. Together, we offer ESL services that prepare you for career progression. There is no monetary cost to you, only your time and dedication! When a student leaves our program early and/or does not take a progress test then our program may lose state and federal funds to pay for ESL classes, teachers, and building maintenance.
