Adult & Continuing 

EduCAtion ProgrAm 

Sullivan County BOCES Adult and Continuing Education Program provides high quality educational, technical and 

vocational services to returning adults, out-of-school youth, and those whose primary language is other than English. 

Our support services empower families with life skills and citizenship training to forge life-long home, school and 

community involvement. Commitment to our mission enables our clients to keep pace in a fast-changing, competitive 

world. 

Academic Education 

We claim program success when individual students 

demonstrate increased reading, writing and 

mathematics skills, earn their GED ® diplomas, 

and/or improve their ability to read, write, and 

speak English. In fulfilling the mission established by 

the State Education Department to provide free academic 

courses to adults, we utilize Employment Preparation Education 

Act (EPE) funding to support instruction in a variety 

of formats addressing multiple learning styles among 

our participants. 

Classroom setting: 

The Adult Program provides several day and evening 

classes at the St. John Street Education Center (SJSEC) 

in Monticello and at other sites throughout the county. The 

classes include, but are not limited to, Adult Basic 

Education, High School Equivalency Preparation, and 

English for Speakers of Other Languages. We offer 

managed-enrollment intensive GED ® exam preparation 

immediately prior to each of our test center’s public 

exams. NYS Plus, a joint effort of Sullivan County 

BOCES and SUNY Sullivan, assists students in earning 

the GED ® , as well as transitioning into college. Through 

rigorous math and language arts preparation, 

learners acquire the skill-base to test out of the 

college’s remedial math and writing courses. Class 

sessions of this intensive managed enrollment course 

take place on the SUNY Sullivan campus. 

Distance Learning/Home Study setting: 

The integration of computer technology and distance 

learning into our programs has kept pace with our 

students’ need for variety in tools available to assist them 

in reaching their goals. The Skills Tutor program is 

described by the NYSED as an excellent multi-media, 

web-based software program which offers a guided 

on-line computer program of home study to qualified 

students who cannot attend a traditional class. Teachers 

assign and monitor work and tutor in-class as needed. We 

continue to offer the packet-based GED ® home 

study program known as GRASP (Giving Ready Adults 

a Study Program). All distance learning and home study 

options operate as hybrids of traditional settings 

and distance learning formats to enhance student success.
