The vision of the Lawrence Public Schools’ Adult Learning Center is to ensure that all English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and Adult Basic Education (ABE) students achieve the learning goals they have set upon entry into our program. By improving students’ skills in the areas of academics, language, technology, and workforce development, we will increase their opportunities to enter college and postsecondary training, obtain an industry-recognized credential, expand their career choices, enjoy a family-sustaining wage, and become effective citizens of their community.
