Our Beliefs

Our Beliefs

The East Haven Adult Learning Center is dedicated to offering lifetime educational opportunities to all citizens and to work with our residents, newcomers to the United States, working people, and others who have not been able to fully participate in the educational process in the past.  We also recognize the continually changing educational needs of adults in our community and are dedicated to providing a comprehensive learning program that meets these needs.  We are committed to preparing lifelong learners and problem solving individuals in an atmosphere of mutual respect; offering a program that increases skills, knowledge, and self-esteem.

East Haven Adult Learning Center will employ both the College and Career Ready Standards and 21st Century Technology in each program area.  The use of these standards, along with technology utilization, will allow students to recognize, synthesize, generate and elaborate those writing and literacy skills essential within each individual program capacity.

 

ICE/IMMIGRATION POLICY:

The Connecticut State Department of Education guidance is “designed to ensure compliance with state and federal laws” and advises schools that the state has no obligation to collect or maintain data on students' immigration status because the Supreme Court has ruled that students have a right to attend public schools regardless of their immigration status. 

 

NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY:

East Haven Adult Education is committed to a policy of equal opportunity for students who seek to obtain education with us.  The East Haven Public School System and Adult Education do not discriminate in any employment practice, education program, or educational activity on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, age, national origin, ancestry, marital status, sexual orientation, disability (including but not limited to neurodivergence, past or present history of mental disability, physical disability or learning disability), genetic information, or on any other basis prohibited by Connecticut state and/or federal nondiscrimination laws.  If you require special accommodations, please call or email our Disability Contact, Barbara Kovacs, at 203-468-3795 or at bkovacs@east-haven.k12.ct.us.
