Executive Director’s Message

 
Welcome to Poway Adult School’s 2025 Fall Quarter!

Michelangelo once said, “The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low, and we reach it.” He understood the power of setting bold goals and dreaming big — and that’s exactly what we hope you’ll do this fall.

Our theme for the Fall Term is “Dream Big!” We’ve assembled more than 370 classes designed to help you explore your interests, develop your skills, and take meaningful steps toward your goals. Whether you’re looking to pursue a new passion, advance your career, or build confidence in a new area, there’s something here for you.
We know adult learners juggle busy lives and many responsibilities. That’s why we offer courses in a range of locations and flexible formats — so you can keep learning while balancing work, family, and personal commitments. Whether your goal is to enhance your job skills, return to school, or enrich your personal life, our dedicated team is hereto support you every step of the way.

Alongside returning favorites, we’re excited to introduce several new offerings this fall, including:

• Small Business & Non-Profit Start-up Workshops
• Nutrition: Nourish to Flourish
• Floral Design: Ikebana and Succulents
• Air Fryer 101
• Houseplants 101
• Family Budget Management
• Cyber Safety for Everyday Life
 
The new journey you’ve been waiting for is just a click away.
 
We look forward to seeing you in class!

Executive Director
