Adult Learning Program

The Adult Learning Program classes are held three times each week for three hours per class. The Adult Learning Program offers both Adult Basic Education and English Literacy classes in the morning, afternoon, and evening. All classes meet for three sessions each week. The program is a ten-month program divided into two eleven-week cycles during the Fall and Spring Semesters.

The Adult Learning Program at La Salle University is part of the Philadelphia Adult Education Network, composed of the YMCA of Philadelphia, Lutheran Children and Family Services, the Elkins Park Library and La Salle University.
