A message from the Director…

Summertime is bigger and better than ever with Saint Paul Public Schools Community Education! We’ve been working hard to bring families a selection of high quality out-of-school time opportunities. Through Community Education, kids can choose activities that fit their interests, in everything from foreign language and theater camps to science exploration, physical activities and so much more.

Community Education creates engaging, safe classes for newborns to senior citizens and everyone in between. Every year, we serve nearly 290,000 people through classes, programs, services and facility use. We could not bring you this reliable variety of programs without the support of our community partners, the City of Saint Paul and local businesses.

For more on everything Community Education has to offer you and your family, please call any of our offices (listed on page 76) and visit our website www.commed.spps.org.
