The Registration Form takes about 15-20 minutes to complete during Orientation. We recommend you complete the Registration Form BEFORE you come to Seeds.

In-Person Orientation is about 3.5 hours, and includes testing.

Orientation is the only time that Seeds operates like a traditional classroom, with a “teacher” in the front, talking to everyone at the same time.

You will meet your Student Engagement Coordinator and learn about how the Seeds program works. You’ll hear all about the high school equivalency test options available.

Then you will take the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE). This isn’t the kind of test you can study for and you should not worry about taking it. All this test does is help us determine your skill level, so we know what kind of classwork to give you on your first day of class. The test may take up to 3 hours, but some people finish earlier. For the best results, you should not rush.

Following Orientation and completion of the TABE, students may attend class. Class time is really tutoring time, conducted as one-to-one instruction.

You just need to know your current address, phone number, and social security number to include on the Registration Form.

It is helpful if you complete the Registration Form BEFORE attending Orientation.

After you have completed both your Orientation and your TABE, you may begin classes right away!

(We do not offer classes on Fridays. For additional details about class times, click here.)

You can still sign up with Seeds of Literacy if you already have a diploma. Maybe you need to work on your math skills for a job, or want to read better to help your grandkids. We can help you! Orientation is the same for everyone, no matter why they are signing up with us.
