Our Vision

West Area Adult School

West Area Adult School's vision is that adult education programs will be delivered with integrity and at the highest level of quality and service. West Area Adult School is a place Where Adults Achieve Success.

Classes are open to adults 16 years or older who are not enrolled in a K-12 school, as well as high school students 16 years of age or older needing to make up credits (pending availability of classes for co-enrolled students).

Enrollment is open-entry/open-exit with students progressing at their own pace toward their academic, career, and/or personal goals. Curriculum is competency-based, with emphasis on student mastery and progression toward intended outcomes.

Daytime and evening classes are offered on-site, as well as at various locations in our service area. Small class sizes enable individualized instruction.
