91¿ì»îÁÖ

In-person and hybrid classes are offered at 91¿ì»îÁÖ and various locations in DeKalb, Sycamore, Rochelle and Genoa. Classes are held in the mornings, afternoons and evenings. 

We have classes in subjects such as language arts, social studies, math and science. We cover adult basic and adult secondary skills equivalent to a high school education. Classes can be taken in English or Spanish, depending on the semester.

We also offer a Citizenship class that provides an overview of the U.S. Citizenship test including American history and government. Basic interviewing, test-taking and writing skills — including grammar and vocabulary in American English — will be addressed.

Registration takes place before the start of each semester at the College and various community sites. Late-start classes and late enrollment require registration at Kishwaukee College.

Call 815-825-9420 to schedule a registration appointment. Please leave a clear message with your name and phone number, and someone will contact you within 24 business hours.
