“Thank you for offering the Adult Education Program.
It is affordable and has a wonderful variety of class options.”
—Adult Education student, Fall 2013
ADULT EDUCATION
Children aren’t the only ones who benefit from quality
local schools. Last fall, nearly 500 adults made the most of
their school district by registering for classes through the
Schalmont Central School District Adult Education Program.
Schalmont schools are open to adults in the community
who want to have some healthy fun, learn new skills or
creatively express themselves in the areas of:
• Creative Arts
• Food & Drink
• Health & Fitness
• Life Skills
• Technology
Most classes are offered at a minimal fee, and several are
discounted or free for resident senior citizens. These fees
allow the program to be self-sustaining (i.e., classes are
not included in the annual school budget).
You must register for all programs even though there may
be no cost for the course. A registration form is printed in
this brochure. Registration occurs on a ‘first-come, firstserved’ basis, so register early. Once your check is received,
you are considered registered. You will not receive a
registration confirmation, but you will be notified if a
class is full or canceled.
The Adult Education Program is intended for individuals
18 years of age and older. However, the age threshold may
vary as indicated in course descriptions. For example, the
defensive driving course is open to children as young as
16 and some courses are restricted to individuals 21 years
of age and older. Limited exceptions may also be made at
the instructor’s discretion. See the new Kid’s Corner on
page 14.
If you have any questions, contact Donna Notar in the
Adult Education Office, 355-9200, ext. 4005, or
[email protected].
Schalmont Central School District is not responsible for any injuries
incurred during activities through the Adult Education Program. Any
ensuing expenses will be borne by the participant.
