Newburyport Adult & Community Education

Policies & Procedures

  • NACE is a completely independent, self-sustaining program that is funded primarily from class fees, grants, and private donations.
  • While we operate under the auspices of the Newburyport Public Schools, NACE receives no public funding from the City of Newburyport.
  • Show your support for lifelong learning by making a tax-deductible donation to NACE and ensure that we can continue to offer valuable programming to the greater Newburyport community.
  • Contact Patty St. John at 978-992-8060 or pstjohn@newburyport.k12.ma.us for more information.
  • People just like YOU! Now’s the perfect time to… learn a new language, explore the natural world, paint a landscape, make jewelry, research your family tree, get your body moving.
  • Those are just a few of the nearly 200 exciting classes offered by NACE each year.
  • Browse our catalog and try something new!
  • Anyone from the Greater Newburyport community is welcome to participate as a student or to become a teacher!
  • Most classes are also available to teens 15 years and over.
  1. NO REFUNDS ARE GIVEN AFTER A COURSE BEGINS.
  2. In order to receive a refund, students must withdraw at least three (3) days prior to class start date. Student withdrawals beyond three days, (4+) will not receive a refund.
  • If, for any reason, the Newburyport schools are closed or cancelled (ie. inclement weather)… Adult Ed classes will also be cancelled.
  • Check the Website, Facebook, Instagram, or call (978) 992-8060 for class cancellation updates.
  • In the case of a class cancellation, you may choose a credit voucher which can be used for any class at any time, or a refund.
  1. We do not send registration confirmations.
  2. We only contact you if your class is cancelled or full.
