Las Vegas Library District's Adult Learning Program Opens Doors: Free English and High School Equivalency Classes for Adults 18+
The Las Vegas-Clark County Library District in Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada, announced on November 13 that its Adult Learning Program is opening doors for adults 18 and older, offering free English classes and High School Equivalency (HSE) preparation and testing to help students build workplace communication skills and advance their education.
Adult English language classes are staffed by professional instructors and serve students at every level, from beginners to advanced speakers, building listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in preparation for higher-level employment. Medical English classes are also set to launch soon. High School Equivalency classes are self-paced and held in person, allowing students to balance their studies with work, transportation needs and family commitments.
Getting started takes three steps: watch the video on the Library District's Adult Learning Program webpage and begin with Start Your Registration, after which a staff member will follow up; schedule a testing date and location for English or HSE placement; and create a Nevada State Student Portal account, which must be completed before going to the testing location. Each year, the Library District celebrates students who complete the High School Equivalency program with a graduation ceremony.
"Adult learning changes and uplifts lives," said Kelee Dupuis, the Library District's Literacy Services Manager. In fiscal year 2026, the program served 1,200 adult students, supported by nearly $2 million in grants from the State of Nevada, the Nevada Department of Education, and the Office of Career, Technical and Adult Education under Title II of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). The Library District matches at least 25% of awarded grant funds.
The Las Vegas-Clark County Library District is an independent taxing entity serving a community across 8,000 square miles through 25 branches.
