What is Adult Education?
The Adult Education Program is to inspire and enable all adults, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. Adults enroll to seek employment, advance on the job, pursue a college education, and/or for personal enrichment. All classes and instructional materials used in the classroom are also available free of charge.
As an Adult Education student, you can:
• Work at your own pace
• Experience one-to-one instruction from a qualified Instructor
• Receive confidential educational counseling and assistance
Adult Basic Education (ABE)
