Poway Adult School offers a wide variety of Adult Education classes every quarter.

The State of California (through the California Department of Education) provides funding to support Poway Adult School courses in the following areas:

• Adult Basic Education (ABE)

In addition to these state-supported classes, Poway Adult School also operates a wide variety of community education classes which are supported entirely by student fees. These fee-based classes include foreign languages, computers, cooking, arts and crafts, areas of special interest, fitness and dance, SAT preparation, and a variety of online/distance learning options.

The teachers who instruct the state supported classes hold California Teaching Credentials. All Poway Adult School teachers are professionals in their field.
