American G.E.D. Center Nepal-GED in Nepal-American High School+2 in Nepal – GED Diploma

Common Questions

General Educational Development (GED) exams are a group of four subjects, when passed, proves that the test taker has American High School-level academic skills. The GED exams "tests of general educational development" measure proficiency in science, mathematics, social studies, English reading and writing. Official GED Testing Centers are controlled environments. All testing sessions take place in person (not online) according to very specific rules, and security measures are enforced. 97% of American universities accept and trust the GED as American high school equivalent.

Can I get my GED

The American GED exam is available to everyone over the age of 17. Students often study for the GED exam while they are 16 and take the exam after turning 17. There are no requirements for earlier education in order to study for and take the GED exam. Many GED test takers are adults looking to continue their education after a gap. Some students are already conditionally accepted to a university abroad and need to show a 12th grade education to enroll. The GED can be a fast track to fulfilling that standard requirement.

Do I need my SLC before my GED

No..The SLC is not required to take the GED exam. Students who plan to go abroad can enter American and other foreign universities without showing they received an SLC. American universities are only looking to see you have a 12th grade high school education or equivalent (GED). Students who plan to enter universities inside Nepal may be required to have their SLC. Some Nepalese universities have adopted the international standards while others still require the SLC.

Who will be teaching the class

The main GED course teachers are either American teachers or teachers with American experience. All teachers at the American GED center are required to have first hand experience with the American educational system in order to understand the American methods of teaching. Our focus is on educating the students not just preparing them for the exam. These teachers understand the value is in retaining the knowledge so the students are more successful in the next step of their education or employment.

How much does it cost

Standard admission fee is 15,000 NPR. Monthly fee is 7,500 NPR. Example: if you need six months of classes to pass the GED exams your total cost for preparation classes will be around 60,000 NPR, NOT including your exam fees. Exam fees are paid online or at one of several local banks, not at the American GED Center. To start class you will need to pay admission fee plus 1 month class fee.

My Story

The American GED Center is the result of years of experience with the Nepalese school system and working for the needs of Nepalese students who do not fit the standardized mold of the current educational system. Some students had difficulties in +2 while other student didn't want to wait two years before leaving Nepal and go to university. The birth of the American GED Center happened in 2011 while helping a seventeen year old Nepalese youth prepare for and ultimately passing his American GED exams. He had no SLC and was an average student in his Nepalese school. This young man is now studying at an American university and will graduate in 2017. Since that time I have worked with other Nepalese youths to gain education from local schools as well as preparing them for the American GED in Nepal. During the six years I have been in Nepal, I found myself always drawn to the educational challenges of Nepal. I understand the difficulties of the current system and feel the American GED Center is a good way to fill the gap for students who have different situations and +2 is not the best option. We at the American GED Center are committed to helping students reach their goals whether it is to move on to a higher education in Nepal or abroad. I have committed myself to provide high quality teachers and a safe clean environment.

Our Team

The team at the American GED Center was carefully selected to include teachers who are high performing and have a great deal of knowledge to offer students. All teachers are American or have first hand experience in the American educational system. This experience will help students learn and retain information that will help them pass the GED exam and be more prepared for the next step in life.

American GED Center graduates experiences in their own words

Graduated Nov 2016

Gaurav Karki Age 18

When I first started studying the GED it was hard for me because I did not finish my regular school. I stopped my schooling at eighth grade and did not get my SLC. It took me a year to finish the GED but I did what I needed to do. There were days where I got mad and tried to give up but I worked my way through it. All of my friends are still in eleventh grade and I am done with the high school. This GED course helped me move to a higher level.

Graduated Dec 2016

Anil Sherpa Age 17

I finished my SLC and was attending +2. I was studying science and it was hard for me so I dropped out of +2. I went to my friend's house who is the owner of this GED institute to consult about my education. He said that I can i give GED to finish my +2 sostarted studying GED. It was hard for the first three months. It took me eleven months to finish my GED. GED will be a lot easier to study if you read books everyday.

Studying in America with a GED

Komal Kuswar age 21

As a Foreign Exchange student in the U.S. I could not graduate from High School like normal student over here would. In-order to enroll in U.S college, I would have to have some kind of certification that provesI have equivalent of high school diploma. I did not have S.L.C. or college so GED seemed my best option. I came back to Nepal after my Foreign Exchange Program finished. The home-study plan for me started very soon after I got back. Every morning would be same routine. Self studying for GED was challenging at first. Slowly but surely with the help and support I was getting from Curtis I kept motivated and the studying changed into a habit. About 3 months into the studying we thought I was ready for the GED tests. One at a time I passed all the subjects and got my GED. That day was one of the happiest moments in my life which will never be forgotten… GED opened thousands of gates to my new future.
