Winona Adult Literacy can help you get your GED. We offer individualized educational planning to meet your goals. Students can work in-person in one of our GED Labs and work online from home. All students need to complete orientation and testing to officially enroll in the program.

• Orientation and Testing takes approximately 4-5 hours to complete, and it can be done over a number of days
• Once we have your reading and math test scores, we will develop your individual learning plan to meet your educational goals
• Orientation & Testing occurs most weeks during our GED Lab.  The GED Lab is on Tuesdays from 1-4 p.m., and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to noon.  Please call 507-494-0924 to make sure the GED Lab is still meeting because days and times can change as needed.
