Mission/ Vision

Adult education plays a critical role in the strength and success of our city.
Newark Adult School is committed to providing accessible pathways for adults to advance their education, gain new skills, and create opportunities for themselves and their families. Whether students are preparing for a new career, gaining skills for college or career technical education, improving English proficiency, earning a high-school diploma, or simply pursuing personal enrichment, adult school empowers community members to move forward with confidence and purpose.

In today’s evolving workforce and changing world, adult education supports economic mobility, increases family stability, and strengthens our community as a whole. When adults learn, grow, and reach their goals, the impact extends far beyond the classroom—supporting local businesses, enhancing civic engagement, and creating a more connected, resilient Newark.

We proudly support one another in a collaborative learning community grounded in innovation, respect, and continual improvement. Here, all students are valued, and each person has the opportunity to overcome barriers, achieve their goals, and connect to education, employment, and the many resources available through Newark Adult School.

We look forward to learning and growing with you. Welcome to our community!
