Our basic literacy program contains reading and writing, using the Laubach Way to Reading series. Students begin writing letters, words, phrase, and progress to sentences and paragraphs at their own rate of learning. Once our students are able to complete the Laubach set of books, we offer a more comprehensive program called Challenger that continues with basic reading skills, but also helps the student work on building better sentences, and focuses more on reading comprehension skills. Challenger Books have a Writing Book for each level. Learners move at their own rate and have individual attention throughout the tutoring process and advance to paragraphs and essays.

Students can study all levels of Math, beginning with understanding number concepts, counting, addition, subtraction, fractions, and up through geometry. Students are given a short assessment to help find the starting level that is best for them. Breakthrough to Math is the series of books that we use to tutor students starting at their level. Many people need math for work or to take a test for work promotions. HiSet students often ask for addtional help in math.
