For nearly 100 years PAS has provided programs and services to meet the needs of adults in our community. Our mission is to provide high quality instruction to our diverse community of adult learners to achieve family, workforce and personal goals. PAS teachers, support staff, and administrative team work together to ensure that students gain reading, writing, math and technology skills to become college and career ready.

To support our students in meeting their academic goals, we offer the following programs: High School Diploma, GED and HiSET test preparation, English as a Second Language, and preparation for U.S. Citizenship.

In partnership with CalRegional, we offer Clinical Medical Assistant, Pharmacy Technician and Phlebotomy Technician evening and weekend training programs that lead to licensure and employment.  Our computer skills training includes introductory and refresher courses in Keyboarding, Excel, Word for PCs and iPad and Mac O.S.
