By gaining a better understanding of and ability to do daily tasks involving reading, writing, and math, adult learners can become more active participants in their communities. We offer community- based adult learning with a variety of opportunities to support individuals in achieving their educational goals. Our services include assessment, customized instruction, and counseling for adults.
Students can enroll at any time, and there is no charge for any of the services provided.
Each adult learner sets his or her own goals and works at a pace that fits his or her learning needs. A minimum commitment of six hours of instruction per week is required, and programs run year round. Participants may remain in the program as long as necessary to meet their goals. Day or evening classes are available. Using Windows-based computers, adults learn the basics of computer operation and how to navigate the internet, and are introduced to software programs commonly used in home and office settings Adult Learning Centers are currently located in Amherst, Belchertown, and Easthampton and are open to all area residents.
