Community Education Mission

We believe that learning enriches our lives at any age. Our Community Education Program provides a broad range of learning opportunities that reflect the needs and interests of our community members regardless of age.

Adult Education Program

Adult Education classes are for adults of all ages and interests. We strive to stay in tune and in touch with the latest trends and hottest topics in technology, fitness, recreation, and personal development, while offering a well-rounded core of classes in the arts, foreign languages, personal finance, and much more. Our goal is to meet the needs of our adult learners and promote the concept of life-long learning.

District 128's Community Education Program offers over one hundred fifty classes for adult learners each term. Adults take classes for a variety of reasons including lifelong learning, skill acquisition for employment, leisure, health and fitness, simply to have fun and to socialize. Our program is constantly updating our offerings to meet the diverse needs of our changing community.

Our adult classes are non-credited classes geared for adults who are not concerned about receiving college credit. There are no tests, grades, or attendance requirements. You take classes because you want to learn in a relaxed environment. The cost of taking classes from us is far more reasonable than the tuition cost of taking classes in other programs similar to District 128's Community Education Program. Online registration makes it easy for you to enroll in any of our classes. We offer classes at Libertyville High School, Vernon Hills High School, and a variety of sites out in the community. You do not have to be a resident of District 128 to enroll in our classes.

Youth and Family Program

Our Community Education youth and family classes reinforce the concept of learning for all ages and promote learning as a family activity. Many of our classes expand upon the school-day experience while others are enrichment type classes apart from those offered in a traditional school environment. Classes range from the arts, computers, sports, hobbies, crafts, engineering and beyond. Our programs offer age-appropriate programs that address the needs and interests of students of all ages at convenient locations throughout the district.

District 128 Community Education Program offers classes for children and families. Our classes are age specific with some classes for children starting as early as pre-school age. We offer classes for children in the areas of recreation, exercise, engineering and self-defense. Some of these classes are family oriented while others are for children only. Please note that many of our adult classes are available to learners under the age of 18 years with prior approval of the Director, the instructor and a completed consent form.

District 128 Community Education Program values learning at all ages and promotes learning as part of a family activity. Come see what we have for kids. Enroll your kids in a class today!
