Christina Adult Programs provide adult programs year-round that prepare community participants to obtain skills, from basic literacy to personal fulfillment courses, and complete a high school education.  The Adult Programs serve clients both within the Christina School District as well as throughout New Castle County. The adult education staff consists of a full-time administrator, a curriculum coordinator and more than 100 part-time teachers, counselors, and support staff.

 

This program is funded by the Delaware Department of Education and the United States Department of Education. Participants’ fees for the classes are the sole funding source of Christina’s Continuing Education Program.
