About Us

Palo Alto Adult School was established by the Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD) in 1921. Our school is committed to excellence by providing a broad range of affordable, high quality education programs. Our goal is to meet the diverse lifelong learning needs of our community.

We provide classes for English learners, parents, job seekers, travelers, hobbyists, and others who want to expand their skills. Whether you want to learn to cook, try your hand at something new or enhance your skills, let us meet your lifelong learning needs.

State-supported classes (i.e. ESL & Citizenship) are free of charge to our students. All other Adult School classes have affordable prices and are funded entirely by enrollment and lab fees.

Accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
