Valley adult education enrolling fall classes

The lifelong pursuit of knowledge and continued expansion of interests is said to be beneficial for both the mind and body.  
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, almost half of the adult population in the United States is enrolled in some form of lifelong learning.

Adults in the Valley can join this quest by earning a high school diploma or GED, learning English, improving computer skills or pursuing a personal interest through the many classes offered at Valley Regional Adult Education.

Fall academic classes such as English as a Second Language, Citizenship and GED Preparation begin the week of Sept. 17 at locations in Shelton (daytime and evening programs), Derby, Monroe, Seymour, and Ansonia (evening programs). There is no fee. Limited enrollment is on a first come, first served basis.

Students must be residents of Ansonia, Derby, Monroe, Seymour or Shelton to participate. In person registration and orientation dates and details can be found at www.vrae.org.

Enrichment classes ranging from health/wellness, career/work, music, languages and much more begin late September. Class locations and prices vary. For a full listing visit www.vrae.org and click Enrichment.

The Fall 2012 catalog detailing all programs is mailed to households in Ansonia, Derby, Monroe, Seymour and Shelton. Browse the catalog online or download a copy at www.vrae.org. Catalogs are available at the  local library.
