Academic Challenge

We provide 200+ hours of instruction aimed at getting the cadet ready to take the G.E.D. test.

Operational Concept:

Team Academics' pedagogical philosophy is: promotion of the concept of life long learning. Highly qualified and experienced teachers work toward the goal of preparing each cadet to pass the state administered G.E.D test. The teachers provide individualized day-to-day instruction, tutoring, and
academic counseling as required and needed.

Team Academics functions as content/skill instructors, test administrators,
academic guidance counselors, life skills facilitators, and role models to
the student population.

**NOTE**
There is no guarantee that a cadet will earn their G.E.D.  Cadets must meet the basic qualifications to take the test.  These include maintaining a "C" Average or above, passing the Pre-G.E.D. tests with the appropriate level score, and following all the rules and regulations, etc.
