Centro Hispano Marista offers preparation for the GED® accreditation for young Hispanic adults who seek academic growth. Our GED® classes were held on the Marist School campus, located at 3790 Ashford-Dunwoody Road NE, Atlanta, GA 30319, every Tuesday from 7 to 9 pm, from September to May. With the pandemic, we offer the same classes but online throughout the year.

Classes are provided to pass the official GED® test in the state of Georgia, in either Spanish or English. Passing the GED® examination certifies that the tester has an equivalent for an American High School education. The state of Georgia issues their diploma after passing all their tests.

The number and level of classes required and the estimated time to graduate is based on student placement tests, post-tests and GED Ready® test results. Many of our students receive a registration and enrollment letter, but only after they have demonstrated their commitment to complete the GED® program. This letter is provided to students after one semester of their continued attendance.

All your instructors are dedicated professionals who volunteer to teach our students, which allow us to offer affordable tuition. Despite their busy lives, they take the time and effort to help our students succeed at their GED® tests and to give students some mentoring advice for life. Our volunteers are highly educated professionals, some of them are long-time teachers. All our faculty members have undergraduate degrees and most have decades of experience, masters, or doctoral degrees. Our faculty and some Marist School volunteers generated 2,010 volunteer/hours per year.

The program has demonstrated its effectiveness in preparing adult learners to pass the GED® exams. We have had graduations that ranges between 46 to 83 graduates per year since in our 2016. These great achievements are the result of the team effort of teachers, tutors, subs, volunteers, students, our leadership team, and our sponsors.
