SIPI’s Adult Basic Education (ABE) and Developmental Education program seeks to ensure that students have every opportunity to be successful in achieving their individual goals. The ABE goal is to provide students with the basic educational and life skills required for completing their High School Equivalence Certificate (passing either the HiSET or HSE tests), ABE and/or Developmental Education Programs, which will prepare the student to enter or retain employment and/or continue on to a degree or certificate program. The ability for students to better meet these goals is aligned with SIPI’s mission and its commitment to develop long-term goals to ensure support and assistance to Tribal communities. SIPI’s affirmation of the belief that each person’s worth and dignity is of the utmost importance while attending the institution. Understanding that each individual student has the potential to impact the SIPI community, their home community and the global community is what compels SIPI to honor each student and their worth.
