STILWELL, OKLAHOMA – The Cherokee Nation is inviting Cherokee citizens and other members of the area community to gain self-confidence while continuing your education by participating in the Cherokee Nation Adult Education Classes.

The classes offer basic skills instruction, including literacy, math and writing as well as GED preparation and assistance.

In addition, students can arrange to take the GED test if desired. The fee for the test is $40 and is waived for Cherokee Nation citizens.
