- Adults ages 17 and older can reach their education goals with the High School Equivalency Test (HiSET).
- Whether to pursue a career or attend college, a high school equivalency credential is an important gateway to higher education and career advancement.
- The HiSET provides a number of accommodations for test takers with disabilities and health-related needs.
- To learn more about the HiSET and see sample questions, follow this link or contact our Academic Counselor at 207-729-7323, ext. 1312
We will help you prepare for, be accepted by, and do well in college. You will meet with our Academic Counselor who will help you create the prefect plan.
Almost all adult education programs in Maine offer College Transitions, but each offers something unique. At Merrymeeting Adult Education, we offer:
- College prep courses in English and/or Math to help prepare students for passing the Accuplacer tests.
- An Academic Success Seminar where students learn the time management, organization, and study skills needed to be successful in college.
- Basic Computer Certifications so students can gain confidence in their technology skills
- College and career counseling to help you map out a path to your career goal.
To get started, call our Academic Counselor at 207-729-7323, ext. 1312.

We are always open to suggestions for new courses. If you would like to propose and/or teach a class, we ask that you fill out a course proposal form and return to rodriguezj@link75.org. Once we receive your proposal, an interview with an administrator will be scheduled if your course is one we might be interested in running.
We offer a free one-evening class each year. A Merrymeeting administrator shares information about our enrichment program, how to propose courses, and what to expect as a teacher. These sessions are a great way to get feedback about your course ideas, and ask questions. For upcoming dates, please see our current print catalog or search our course listings.
