Mission:
The mission of Bonny Eagle Adult Education is to provide a learning environment that fosters student success, encourages lifelong learning, and meets changing community needs.
Dear Community Members,
Welcome to Bonny Eagle Adult Education, part of MSAD #6 school district. The information on this home page will give you a general description of Adult Education programs. You will find a complete listing of individual courses, and a link to our brochure at: http://www.sad6.maineadulted.org. This information will be posted several weeks before the start of each semester. (We have two semesters: fall and winter/spring.)
The webpage allows you to search for a course even if Bonny Eagle is not offering it. Type in the name of a course you're interested in, your zip code, and the number of miles you're willing to travel. With another click, course details are presented, along with a Google map showing the location of the course.
You can also register online via the webpage. However, if you prefer, you can still call us @ 929-9185 and register using your credit card, or send your registration via the mail.
Please call us with questions, or email me at: cwalz@sad6.k12.me.us. Remember, we are Your Community Link to Lifelong Learning, and we want to provide the best opportunities for you!
