New Partnership

Metro North ABE is proud to announce a new partnership with the Philanthropic Educational Organization ( PEO ) Sisterhood organization aimed at supporting women in advancing their education . This collaboration will provide scholarships for Metro North ABE students enrolled in the Test of Essential Academic Skills ( TEAS ) test preparation program .

Brooklyn Center ’ s new address

Metro North Adult Basic Education ( ABE ) is embarking on an exciting new chapter in our partnership with Brooklyn Center Community Schools . In June , Metro North relocated to a newly renovated facility at 5910 Shingle Creek Parkway . The move allows Metro North ABE to serve as the community ’ s new Opportunity Site . The site is approximately 20,000 square feet and is a city-owned entrepreneurial market plaza .
Renowned for its diverse adult education programs — from foundational literacy and numeracy skills to GED preparation and English language proficiency courses — Metro North ABE will now expand its reach and impact through this strategic partnership . With spacious classrooms , advanced technology labs , and administrative offices all under one roof , Metro North ABE is poised to accommodate a larger student body and deliver enhanced educational experiences . This move signifies more than just a location change ; it signifies a shared commitment to fostering learning opportunities that uplift and transform lives .
The TEAS test is a crucial step for many women seeking entry into nursing or other health programs . Recognizing the financial barriers that can deter aspiring students , PEO Sisterhood has stepped forward to alleviate the costs associated with the TEAS test . This scholarship initiative underscores their commitment to empowering women through education .
The partnership will initially offer scholarships covering the full cost of the TEAS test for a select number of female students . Eligible applicants must be enrolled in Metro North ABE ’ s TEAS test prep program and demonstrate their commitment to advancing their education in healthcare fields .
PEO Sisterhood , founded in 1869 , has a longstanding history of promoting educational opportunities for women through scholarships , grants , and loans . Their mission aligns perfectly with Metro North ABE ’ s goal of providing accessible education to adult learners in the community .
Metro North ABE and PEO Sisterhood invite community members and supporters to celebrate this initiative and encourage eligible women to apply for the TEAS test scholarship . Together , we are paving the way for a brighter future where education opens doors to new opportunities for all women .
