PLACER SCHOOL FOR ADULTS
What is Adult Education???
**From Founding Fathers to Our Families: The Enduring Legacy of Adult Education**
Since 1957, PSA has been serving adult students throughout Placer County with a variety of educational programming and services targeted to meet the needs of adult learners in our region. Placer School for Adults has been accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) since 2012. Today, PSA operates as part of a modern federal-state partnership, serving as a key local provider that customizes its programs to the community's requirements. As part of the Sierra Joint Consortium, PSA collaborates with other regional agencies to create clear educational pathways for adult learners across Placer and Nevada counties. Our main campus, located at the Lynn MacDonald Education Center, consists of 14 classrooms, three computer labs, career and counseling center and a Pearson Vue Testing Center. The concept of lifelong learning is deeply ingrained in American history. Unlike childhood education, adult education focuses on adults engaging in systematic learning to acquire new knowledge, skills, or values. This tradition dates back to the colonial era and continues to thrive today, benefiting families in our community through the Placer School for Adults (PSA). PUHSD’s Adult Education Program provides these opportunities to our communities. Learn more about PSA here, on their website, and at the October 21 Board Meeting when they will be the ‘Showcase’! st
PSA has expanded programs to provide learning opportunities to individuals in Grass Valley and Tahoe/Truckee.
PSA also partners with the Placer County Sheriff’s Office to provide educational programs to incarcerated individuals.
