Adult/Continuing Education

Did you know that the NYC DOE’s Office of Adult and Continuing Education offers tuition-free adult education classes to individuals who are 21 and over who do not have a U.S. high school diploma or equivalent?  Parents can enroll in English Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes to learn English, Test Assessing Secondary Completion (TASC) classes, formerly (GED), to earn a high school equivalency diploma, and Career and Technical Education classes to become certified in a trade, such as Certified Nurse Assistant, Culinary Arts, Microsoft Certification, and more. Proof of US residency is not required.  Current and new students can register for remote learning.   Find out more at Office of Adult and Continuing Education.  

All registration will take place at one of our Registration Hubs. We  encourage everyone to fill out the form that is attached to the QR Code on the flyer.  The form will allow them to set up an appointment at one of our Registration Hubs.  Here is the web address for the  Form


***The closest Registration Hub in District 22 is: Adult Education School 6 @ Coney Island Avenue, 1223 Coney Island Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11230.  Appointments should be made through our website.  We cannot guarantee those adults without appointments will be registered if they walk in.
