The Blue Hills Adult Secondary Education Program is a friendly, supportive place to learn the basics and master high school skills—so you can pass the HiSET or GED and earn your high school equivalency credential. After passing the HiSET or GED, our students have built better lives for themselves and their families. Some have gotten jobs, promotions, or better jobs. Others have gone on to college and started careers. You can, too!
The ESOL Program is a place to learn English and other important skills. After attending our ESOL program, our students get jobs, promotions, and better jobs. They can help their children with homework and talk to their teachers. They can communicate with their neighbors, doctors, and local businesspeople. We will help you succeed!

Students at Blue Hills Adult Education Program collected a wonderful variety of hats, gloves, mittens and scarves for local families in need as part of their yearly community outreach. “We are so grateful to be a part of the Dedham community and this collection is our way of showing our appreciation,” says Tammy MacDonald, Blue Hills Adult Education Program Coordinator.
The Blue Hills Adult Education Program, funded by a grant from the Massachusetts Department of Education, has been located at the Capen building in Dedham since 2019. The program offers free classes in Adult Secondary Education (ASE) and English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). The primary goal for ASE students is to pass the High School Equivalency Test (HiSET) or GED and thus earn an equivalent high school credential. The primary goal for ESOL students is to improve their English language skills. Learning focuses on career and college readiness.
