Getting started.
Who this helps
Maine law generally allows people age 17 or older who are not attending public school to attend adult education; local programs set admission criteria and costs.
How to get started
Contact your local adult education program to learn about classes and enrollment. Ask a local program whether an orientation or assessment is needed and whether it has a fee.
