Tolton Center A Program of De La Salle InstituteThe Tolton Center Founded by the De La Salle Institute in 1991, Tolton Center was a GED program which at one point was offered at eight Chicago locations. Tolton Center worked to assist low-income, low-skilled adults to become productive citizens, parents, and workers through education and life-long learning. The strategy was to empower adults through academic achievement. Tolton Center’s programs included: Literacy, Adult Basic Education, English as a Second Language (ESL), Life Skills, Family Literacy, and employment preparation. With the restrictions caused by the Covid pandemic, all of Tolton’s program were only offered online beginning in 2019. Tolton Center suspended operation June 2024. Tolton Center was named for Father Augustus Tolton (1854 – 1897) who was the first Black American priest in the United States of America. _____________________________ City Colleges of Chicago currently offers GED programs and testing: https://www.ccc.edu/site/online-ged-prep-classes/
