Northeast Kingdom Learning Services, Inc (NEKLS) began with one woman, Eva Warner, teaching area residents to read. It is so much more almost 50 years later. Today, we offer a flexible pathway to a high school diploma, transition services, general adult education, job training, and childcare. It is our mission to inspire and empower learners at any age.
NEKLS has many programs to assist the community members of the Northeast Kingdom and we are always looking for ways in which we can continue to ensure that our neighbors and friends have what they need to thrive. From in-house programming, to collaborations with local organizations and referrals, we can help you achieve your goals.
Adult Education and Literacy Programs provide math, reading, and writing skill development, job skills development, computer literacy, and support in students' transition to work or college. Many of our services are available virtually. NEKLS teaches English as a second or other language (English For Speakers of Other Languages) to students from around the world who have come to settle in our beautiful Northeast Kingdom.
NEKLS Community Learning Centers offer group and individual digital literacy training. In addition to computer instruction classes, community members may access email, search the web, perform job searches, complete online job applications, or apply for unemployment benefits at the five Community Learning Centers in the tri-county region.
The High School Completion Program (HSCP) collaborates with local schools to provide an alternative educational path to a high school diploma for anyone 16 or older. Program participants typically have left school and are no longer enrolled in high school.
The General Educational Development Program (GED) leads to a high school diploma equivalency. In 2020, 18 students earned their GED through the NEKLS GED Testing Centers.
