As partners with the schools in a common purpose, CCE is committed to offering lifelong educational opportunity to all: newcomers to the United States, working people and professionals, those in transition or career change, older citizens, persons with special needs, and especially to those who have not been able to participate fully in the educational process. CCE is also dedicated to supporting public education by creating and providing opportunities for innovation and flexibility in the school curriculum. By offering programs that bridge the generations, the Concord Public Schools seeks to unite the community in a common purpose --- educating for the improvement of the quality of life for all its members.
