Levy Center

The Levy Center in Chiefland is located in the Providence Mall Shopping Center at 114 Rodgers Blvd. Plans include the construction of a permanent campus in Levy County on donated land located just north of Chiefland on Highway 19. College credit courses, continuing education and adult education courses are offered at the center.

The center is increasing the number of college credit offerings for residents seeking associate degrees and college certificates. Eligible Levy County high school students may enroll for dual credit (high school and college), per an articulated agreement between the college and the Levy County School Board.

Continuing education courses are regularly scheduled at the Levy Center, including courses which provide workforce training, as well as those designed for leisure. Examples of continuing education courses include certified nursing assistant and computer skills training.

The adult education program includes General Education Development preparation, adult basic education, Adult High School, Vocational Preparatory Instruction and a program for adults with disabilities. Adult education classes may also be offered at off-site locations in Levy County. The center is an official GED testing site, administering the GED examination 10 times per year. A recently awarded Adult Education Career Pathways grant is helping students in the GED program begin career training while earning their GED. Career tracks include health care and architecture/construction.

The Enrollment Services department provides full-time assistance with application for admission, advising, registration and financial aid to students at the Levy Center. Career assessment, Computerized Placement Test, and Test of Adult Basic Education are administered at the Levy Center.

In addition to six classrooms, the Levy Center has two fully equipped computer labs, a career resource room and a community room which is available for meetings and special events. The community room also serves as a mini-Appleton gallery, with 20 prints of original art from the Appleton Museum of Art. The gallery was funded through a comprehensive family literacy grant and is available to Levy County school classes, the public and for local literacy and cultural activities.
