Blackhawk provides basic skills education, GED/HSED instruction, classes for English Language Learners (ELL), and support services to help students succeed in post-secondary education.  Staff work closely with other divisions of Blackhawk as well as with local schools and industries to develop programs to meet educational needs in the community. Classes are offered in Rock and Green Counties.

There is an array of services in response to students' unique circumstances, abilities and goals.  Support is provided via classroom instruction, workshops, computer-based tutorials, and individualized assistance through learning labs.  Our instructional staff are sensitive to the concerns of adult students who desire to complete or continue their education.
