The school’s major programs include Academics, Adults with Disabilities, Citizenship, English as a Second Language, Health and Fitness, Home Economics, Older Adults, Parent Education, and Vocational Education. The school is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and all teachers are credentialed by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. 

The school’s Vocational program houses one of the premier computer training centers in Southern California. The Computer Training Center, better known as CTC, offers world class computer training using state-of-the-art equipment that includes the Windows XP operating system and Microsoft’s XP Professional Office suite of software applications. Students may earn a vocational diploma or certificate of proficiency with specialization in nine “career path” areas. In addition, training for A+ certification, medical office assistant, computer networking, web page design, and basic graphic design is available.

The School’s English as a Second Language program is an exemplary program that provides English language and Citizenship instruction to recent immigrants using eight instructional levels. The program is recognized state-wide for its unique specialized skills curriculum that offers instruction by skill level in pronunciation, grammar, reading and conversation. 

“You’ll like the way you look” is the adopted slogan of the school’s ABC Fitness Program. This program has grown over 400% over the past three years because of the quality and variety of classes offered. The overwhelming growth of the program is attributed to the public’s interest and demand for high quality fitness instruction that focuses on personal health improvement. Classes offered range from Aerobics to Water Aerobics and Yoga and are offered at over nine locations throughout the ABC School District.

The focus of the Academic program is threefold: (1) completion of a High School Diploma, (2) preparation for passing the GED, and (3) remediation of basic academic skills. The program uses three modalities to accomplish its goals—an individualized learning lab., independent study and teacher led classes. If you are serious about improving academic skills or earning a high school diploma, one of the modalities is sure to match your learning style. Over 100 adult students per year receive either a high school diploma or GED through this very successful program. 

Fine arts and crafts classes are offered through our Older Adult and Home Economics programs. The fine arts program includes Brazilian Stitchery, Beginning Fusing Glass, Oil Painting, Water Color Painting, Quilting, Stained Glass Making, Fashion Design Sewing, Baking, Upholstery, Piano, Guitar, Ukulele and much, much more.
