8 Best G.E.D Programs In Provo, UT (2022 Updated)

Pretty awful education experience. The vast majority of professors are terrible teachers. In fact, it's apparent they care more about their research that the school funds, than the actual students and the material they are teaching. So many teachers seem to have the mindset that "Oh, if these students aren't as passionate about this topic as I am, they are going to fail." Of course, there are a few incredible teachers, but they are few and far between. Not to mention, that a large population of the students act extremely entitled and judgy. Kinda of ironic, considering the school is owned and funded by a church that claims to have the most accurate understanding of Jesus Christ. Attending the school is incredibly cheap, however, to which I will praise. The opportunity to make it through school without any debt is a massive help for many. That being said, plan on changing your major multiple times, because almost every program is extremely competitive and very very difficult to get into. This is a school where dreams are quite literally crushed under the weight of academic pressure and prestige.Jacob Heiner

AMAZING!!! BYU runs one of the largest, if not the largest, comprehensive summer youth sports program in the country. They consistently draw student athletes from all over Utah, the Intermountain West, The Unites States and even have a number of international athletes every year. We have sent our own kids for 5+ years in multiple sports. They love it!! They love the week long sport specific camps, the housing option, the friends, camp counselors, student coaches, meals at the Canon Center and ice cream at the creamery store. Try it, you won’t be disappointed :).Ben Johnson

This is a large campus with a number of different facilities. I love that there is no charge for the Bean museum or the Paleontology museum. The creamery makes just about the BEST I've cream I've ever tasted. The Wilkinson Student Center has a bowling alley and am extensive good court and more. Love the Arts center and basically find there is too much here to tell about, but it's worth a visit just to explore the campus. Love the bell concerts at noon.Leona Keesling

I would like to give a Nice Recognition to all the people that work and this place. They are wonderful people that give their time to not only to the Hispanic, but to all the community with out care your race or religion. They help out in many ways, specially the Receptionist Lady who is willing lo listen the problems that you come with,when is not her job. Her name is Demy, and has extraordinary skills, always welcome with a smile! These people work many hours volunteer, they do not charge for their service, only for documents that you need. Thanks you very much for all that you do and working hard for a better place!!!! We need in our world more people like you. God bless you!Lunaniel

When it comes to help this people are the worst on doing that specially if you are hispano they’ll send you away I asked them to help me with rent since I tested positive for COVID-19 and I wasn’t working after sending all the documentation that they requested Delmy Trujillo just and her stuff just simply ignored me and never got help . In the meantime the government sends money to the state so this corporation like CENTRO HIPSANO helps people in real need but they Won’t and never will unless your family member works there .Vaso 1910

I don't have words to describe how grateful I am to Sherry Almquist and her team for helping me with the tax refunds. I had tried everything, even going to the IRS in Ogden, but in the Centro Hispano, they were very diligent and knowledgeable about what to do, and they did it. In the IRS, they had problems verifying my personal information. It was stressful, and I spent months looking for help, but finally, everything is solved. Thank you!Alfredo Montilla

As a doc student who took most of his classes here (but some in Logan and some in Heber), I have a lot of experience with these folks. I've also taught for them in the past. It is a great extension campus.Michael Walker

Have never had a bad experience. Wonderful counseling when I needed advice or just had questions and the testing center is a stress free environment to take tests. All around great school. Love USU!Richard Andrews

I am not going to sugar coat this review. My mental health was in the slums during my entire time in the Provo District. The counselors are jokes, they do not help students whatsoever, and in my experience do WAY more harm than good. Many of the other students have said the same. Truth be told, your child will probably have a less than good time if they aren't wealthy and white. I do not suggest sending your students to school here if they are in the lesser majority. The staff does little to nothing when it comes to students coming to them for help (regarding bullying, home troubles, etc.) They give students way too much homework, and after switching to a different district I have been significantly less stressed and anxious about my grades. The teachers where I am at now are way more understanding and they are wonderful with students. Within the first week that I switched we were offered better communication, met with a kinder staff, and a better environment all around. For the areas that the schools are in, you would expect them to be treated better. If I'm going to be blunt, the bathrooms and state of the schools were horrible. For such high income locations, they really should be taken better care of you'd think. Now to address covid-19, the fun stuff. To be as straight forward as possible, the district in entirety handles it awfully. I didn't feel safe in their hands and left due to the fact. They opened the school and had it shut down almost immediately afterwards, because they surpassed the 15 cases. They attempted to do the same a little bit later and unfortunately succeeded. A lot of my peers were incredibly careless and didn't take the comfort of their classmates into consideration. I never saw masks or distancing being reinforced, and it almost looked just like a normal school, pre-covid. Now they're discussing if their students should have assembly's and parties in person, in the height of the pandemic. The district does NOT listen to the concerns of the students who are saying they should not go back to normal. A lot of students are using mental health as an excuse in regards of parties and events. Should the district not be thinking of the students who are anxiously awaiting to go back to school? Should they not be thinking of the students who are having an extremely hard time being confined at home? If they keep their current streak up they will continue to lose respect by a lot of students. They are letting tons of people down and it's very disappointing to watch.inky xc

I am a very dedicated automotive student at Timpview, and due to construction in 2021, the district has denied all outside access to the autoshop, making the quality of the advanced auto classes much lower then they should be. I brought up many issues current and future, I explained that there needs to be something done so that the classes can be the best they can be for the sake of the students. The response from a couple people in this district was that 1. No student will ever be allowed to bring their car into the shop for the entirety of the construction (3-5 years), 2. It is just an "inconvenience" and "I understand your frustration", 3. There is absolutely nothing I can [am willing] to do. These responses were from the current school board president, and the vice principal of Timpview (who just happens to be in charge of the industrial wing at Timpview). To put it simply, no one cares about the Timpview auto students, no one is willing to speak up about it, when students like me put a lot of effort into trying to get them to care, they get shut down. The consequences of this continued poor management from people who could care less about the students can very quickly go to the extent of the Timpview automotive shop getting shut down. They do not care, they are not willing to stand up for passionate students, please, if you are planning on moving into the Provo city school district, run, you will experience nothing but pain and frustration.Robert Vivian

The guy at the dock was plenty nice, I was over an hour early for my appointment but he unloaded me right away! The parking lot is right n next to the schools baseball diamond and cars parked everywhere. Driveway wasn't built for us trucks, but there wasn't a stop sign, so lawn maintenance must be out there after every delivery. Construction on both sides of the block, so it was kinda tricky THIS time. But it's still downtown, so it's gotta be a skilled professional, anyways. And its no problem for guys like us.

I'm currently in the process of aquiring my G.E.D. and I'm enrolled in the GED prep class here at Canyon Heights. The staff are absolutely amazing! They're caring, patient and knowledgeable. They all need to be paid more. 🙂Bumbling Bumblebee

The teachers are wonderful! The program works well with you and your different circumstances, definitely would recommend this program to people.Moriah Moreno

Alpine Adult Ed is a wonderful place to get individualized and direct help! They council with you to help you choose the best path for High School completion (whether finishing your Diploma or passing the GED) and know your actual needs. They don't just push you through a blanket program but focus on what is needed, saving you time and energy. The friendly staff is willing to work one-on-one with you to help you understand the material. Not to mention that their GED prep is absolutely FREE! I highly recommend this program.Nathan Craven

Hazel, we are sorry that you did not have a good experience. Perhaps you are thinking of a different program. Your name doesn't seem to match any of our records. We hope that you were able to find the help and instruction that you needed. Best of luck in all your future endeavors.Alpine Adult Ed Center Adult Ed Center

Best program and staff in the state. Helped with my individual needs and concerns. They took the time with me and made sure that I was prepared to take the test. I was able to get one on one instruction and they took the time to get to know me. Definitely would recommend!Abby Parker

The Harman Testing center is the worst facility BYU has. They have no service so if you don’t have duo or your duo doesn’t work like in my case, you can’t take a test. When I finally logged in they didn’t let me take, because it was too late and they wouldn’t want to wait for just 10 min even tho I was trying to log in for 40 min.Bogdan Mukhametkaliev

A great part of BYU that runs BYU online and other departments that help students finish and work towards their degrees.Will Hall
