Calendar for the school year 2026–2027

Class schedule for the term

Unlike most schools, Mid-Valley Literacy Center does not publish a class schedule for the upcoming term far ahead of time. Instead, the schedule is determined by the skill levels of the enrolling students and the availability of tutors. A provisional schedule will be published here about two to three weeks before the beginning of the term.

Costs

The fee is $100 for the term (not per class).

The textbook for most classes costs between $20 and $30. For some classes, the book may be used for more than one term.

The cost of placement testing depends on the subject and how many tests you take:

• English for Speakers of Other Languages Assessments: $10 per test ($30 total)
• GED Ready: $8 per test (4 tests: Science, Social Studies, Language Arts, Math)
• Adult Basic Education: $10 per test ($20 total)

Enrollment policies

Students must pay or make arrangements for payments before attending class.

Students may enroll for scheduled classes for the first three weeks of the term. After that, enrollments may be allowed, but the staff will make the decision.
