Adult Basic Education (ABE) leads to a high school diploma or a "Dogwood Certificate". Many adults, for a number of reasons, have not achieved the level of education they need or want in order to build the future they desire for themselves and their families. Often, a high school diploma is the key to securing a better job or moving on to post-secondary level education. The ABE Program assists those who find themselves in this position.

The General Education Development (GED) is a series of standardized tests which measure the general knowledge, ideas, and cognitive skills that students normally acquire through three years of high school, but which a student may gain through experience.

The major difference between ABE and GED is that ABE prepares students academically for future training while GED does not.

The Higher Education Program assists students with college financial aid and scholarship applications, and may assist with tuition and books according to need.

The Resource Library provides educational resource materials and accurate Native American literature.
