Welcome to the Fairfield-Suisun Adult School. This schedule will

Whether you are looking into the Adult School to earn your high

tests, learn new skills for your professional or personal growth, or
you are exploring enrichment classes, we thank you for your
trust in serving your educational needs. It is our commitment to
provide the best educational environment at all times.
Last year we were able to offer new courses in healthcare and
welding which were very successful in helping develop skills

several new course offerings that we are very excite d about.
You can take a course to become a certified tax preparer,

We have worked to develop our personal enrichment classes
which focus on helping students gain valuable personal skills.
We now offer Art (Drawing, Painting, and other mediums), the
Art of Welding, Digital Photography, and Photoshop. Our
individualized high school diploma and equivalency classes
focus on online learning to assist students in obtaining the
necessary skills and credits to complete their program.
Additionally, our English Language Acquisition (formerly ESL)

We look forward to serving your
