North Colonie Continuing Education Program

The North Colonie Central School District is proud to present the Fall 2024 Continuing Education Program. This program offers a diverse selection of courses that meet the interests and needs of our community. Registration is open to all who are 21 years of age or older. Town of Colonie residents will have priority when space is limited. If you attend an in-person registration date, please bring your card. All classes are filled on a “first come, first served” basis with preference given to district residents. Non-residents will be accepted if space is available. We retain our adult education instructors to teach a course in their area of expertise. In our opinion, all instructors are highly qualified and competent in their fields. The instructors are not permitted to use the classroom for personal gain or to solicit clients or customers. Therefore, we are not responsible for any advice or consultation given beyond the classroom setting and course curriculum material.
