Adult and Family Education Overview

We are grateful for and rely on funding through federal, state, and local grants to support one of the largest adult education programs in the state of Colorado.  D11 Adult & Family Education is one of the only comprehensive programs in the state that serves students in all these areas:

• Adult Basic Education (K-5 equivalency)
• Adult Secondary Education (6-12 equivalency)
• English Language Acquisition
• Family Literacy (serving children ages birth through 5th grade)
• Adult Career Pathways
• Workforce Readiness
• Classes for refugees throughout El Paso County

The program serves an average of 600-850 students per year, while the Family Literacy program typically serves up to 100 children annually.  We have a skilled and dedicated staff that partners with eager adult learners to increase their English, literacy, numeracy, and career advancement skills.
