What Does
Community Education Mean?
Community education is based upon the understanding that learning continues throughout life, and that learning opportunities closest to home have the greatest potential for high levels of public participation. Adult and community education provides opportunities for adults to become partners in addressing the academic, recreational, and work related needs of its citizens.
The Newburyport Public Schools have the primary responsibility for providing an educational program that will enable the city's children to become knowledgeable and productive citizens. By making school buildings available after the close of the school day for the adult learners, the school system also fosters the common purpose of life-long learning.
Who Takes Our Classes?
People like you. People who want to explore new areas of learning, who seek enrichment through their own creativity. People who seek professional and personal growth and those who enjoy the company of others who want to learn.
