Classes

We are proud of the diversity of our Continuing Education program, the popularity of it, and the ability we have to meet the needs of the people we serve. Continuing Education (adult noncredit) classes are FREE unless they are designated enrichment classes (art, drama, music, dance, sewing or cooking). Fee classes are $4.25 per hour of instruction.

Most free classes are Open Entry/Open Exit or Enroll Anytime. Enter when there is space available, learn what you want to learn, then leave.

With more than a thousand classes to choose from, and 166 current community locations, why not select a class or two and start now to continue your education. Imagine the possibilities!
