| Teacher Shari Deghi Coordinator of La Costa Adult School |
The name of the new Adult School is La Costa Adult School. "La Costa"is Spanish for "the coast."
La Costa Adult School is part of ACCEL, our Regional Consortium. All the schools in ACCEL work together to serve the county of San Mateo.
Our own Teacher Shari is the coordinator of La Costa.
Here is some information from Teacher Shari about the school:
La Costa Adult School
 |
| The Western Coast of San Mateo County |
La Costa has two locations: Half Moon Bay and Pescadero. Half Moon Bay just started its first classes on January 11 and already over 200 students are taking English as a Second Language (ESL) classes every Monday and Wednesday evening from 6-9 pm at Cunha School. La Costa plans to start GED/HiSET preparation classes this semester and has a waitlist for interested students.
Puente de la Costa Sur has been serving its residents with ESL classes for many years and thanks to increased funding through La Costa Adult School, it is able to increase its offerings. Puente offers ESL, GED/HiSET preparation, Language Skills for Workforce Careers, and primary/secondary education in Spanish.
La Costa works closely with Cañada College and a consortium of all the adult schools and community colleges in San Mateo County to provide education for immigrants, courses for high school equivalency, career technical education programs, apprenticeships and classes for disabled adults.
Volunteers are greatly appreciated and La Costa has current openings for credentialed teachers.
