Lifelong Learning Opportunities
New Milford Adult Education provides programs that prepare community participants to obtain skills, from basic literacy to personal fulfillment courses, learn English and complete a high school education. The Adult Programs serve students within the New Milford School District as well as throughout Region 12.
The mandated programs (High School completion, ESL and Citizenship) are funded by the New Milford Board of Education, the Connecticut State Department of Education and the United States Department of Education.
Community enrichment classes are funded through participant fees, which New Milford strives to keep at low cost.
