Adult and Family Education

Program Overview

Adult and Family Education Program is multifaceted, consisting of morning and evening classes for students aged 17 and older in the following areas:

English as a Second Language (ESL)
Adult Basic Education (ABE)
Adult Secondary Education (ASE)
GED exam preparation
College and Career Prep
Math and Language Arts for students who already have a diploma
Family Literacy
Parent-And-Child-Together (PACT)
Parent Time to support children's literacy development and success in school
Providing high quality, age appropriate early learning
Foster parent literacy improvement that leads to economic self sufficiency

For students ages 17 and over, Adult and Family Education offers Adult Basic Education, Adult Secondary Education (often known as High School Equivalency Preparation), and English language classes for non-native speakers of English. Adult Education students who live within District 11 boundaries have the option to participate in the Family Literacy program, where they bring their children, ages 6 weeks through 5th grade, to school with them. While parents attend Adult Education classes, the children receive age appropriate literacy instruction.

Group instruction is provided in classes of no more than 20 students, and students have access to computers during class. Adult and Family Education teachers are required to have a Colorado Teaching License and the Adult Basic Education Authorization (ABEA).
