Partner of the Quarter

San Mateo Adult and Career Education prepares adults from diverse backgrounds and

 educational needs for success in college, career, and community engagement. Their programs provide equitable opportunities to access and acquire academic, workforce, life, and technology skills.  San Mateo Adult and Career Education's FREE ESL classes teach English vocabulary, grammar, listening, speaking, reading, writing, and technical skills.

Currently, we have 42 San Park School District parents enrolled in the AM & PM classes. Since 2023,194 students have successfully completed the program. 

Research shows that Community involvement is crucial for a thriving school environment. Strong community ties enhance student achievement, attendance, and overall well-being, while also fostering a sense of belonging and shared responsibility. Schools benefit from community support through increased resources, diverse learning opportunities, and a more positive learning environment. Jose and I have had the pleasure of serving the San Bruno Park School District, and we are proud to share the following highlights from our work.
