Instructor Opportunities: We are currently seeking instructors
Killingly Public Schools is proud to announce that, starting in the 2025-2026 school year, we will offer free Adult Education Programs for Connecticut residents aged 17 and older no longer enrolled in public school. Our Adult Education Program will provide:
- Adult Basic Education (ABE) - focuses on foundational skills like reading, writing, math, and language, often preparing adults for high school equivalency (GED) or further education, and sometimes including life skills and digital literacy.
- GED Preparation – GED classes prepare individuals for the General Educational Development tests, which are a series of four academic subject tests that can lead to a high school equivalency credential, covering subjects like language arts, math, science, and social studies.
- English Language Instruction – ESL (English as a Second Language) classes focus on teaching non-native English speakers the language skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing, along with cultural understanding, to facilitate effective communication in English-speaking environments.
- American Citizenship Preparation – classes focus on preparing adults to pass the American Citizenship Test. Focus on questions used by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and offer practice tests.
Killingly Public Schools is pleased to support current employees and teachers who meet the requirements for the endorsement. If selected for a position, the district will cover the cost of the endorsement application fee.
