MASD Community Education

MASD Community Education program is committed to the unique partnership that exists between our community and school district. We connect citizens and resources, creating lifelong learning opportunities as individuals share their knowledge, skills, and interests with one another.

The district is excited about the opportunities available through community education. Treat yourself! Get out of the house, explore our schools, and learn new skills in a fun, social setting. The program offers a variety of opportunities in a multitude of interest areas. Recreational learning and skill-based ventures are offered in areas ranging from arts & crafts to science, from foods to fitness. Classes are open to all ages –infant to adulthood (participant age is noted in course description).
