Jackson/Mann Community Center - Adult Education Program

Welcome to the Jackson Mann Community Center Adult Education Program

At the heart of Allston (Boston, MA) the Jackson Mann Community Center stands as a beacon of learning, growth, and community engagement for over 40 years. Our Adult Education program is dedicated to empowering individuals through comprehensive education and skill-building opportunities. With a deep understanding of the diverse needs of our community, we offer educational pathways that open doors to new possibilities and foster personal and professional development.

Our program is home to a vibrant ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) curriculum, designed to support non-native English speakers in their journey to fluency. Spanning six levels, from beginner to advanced, our ESOL classes provide a supportive and inclusive environment where every learner can thrive. Taught by passionate and experienced instructors, our courses aim to build confidence, enhance communication skills, and integrate cultural sensitivity into every lesson.

In addition to our ESOL offerings, we are proud to provide HiSET (High School Equivalency Test) preparation classes. The HiSET program is designed for individuals seeking an alternative to the traditional high school diploma. Through personalized instruction and supportive learning communities, our HiSET classes prepare students to successfully pass the equivalency exams, opening up new career opportunities and pathways to higher education.

Community-Centered Approach:

The Jackson Mann Community Center believes in the power of education to transform lives and strengthen communities. Our Adult Education program is more than just a place to learn; it's a community where individuals come together to share experiences, celebrate diversity, and support one another's growth. With the help of dedicated volunteers and a committed staff, we strive to offer an enriching learning experience that goes beyond the classroom.
