Community Partnerships for Lifelong Learning
51 is committed to student access. In our classrooms, labs, shops, and seminars, a diverse range of people unite — people who bring a vast breadth of education, life, and work experiences to share. We offer flexible, affordable learning programs to accommodate virtually any schedule, even those of busy parents, active seniors, and mid-career professionals. We also commend and support the efforts of community organizations that bring people together in the spirit of lifelong learning.
