The Adult School
The South Orange-Maplewood Adult School is the oldest operating Adult School in NJ and was named a Local Legacy in 2000 by the Library of Congress. They strive to keep class prices down so they can continue the tradition that the school was founded upon – a community school where people can gather to learn, stay informed and be entertained. More than 150 courses and lectures are offered in the fall and spring, with a modified schedule in the summer. These courses enrich the mind, exercise the body and feed the soul. Choices include art, music, business and finance, fitness and recreation, languages and technology.
