Saddleback Adult Education programs are funded in part by the California Adult Education Block Grant (AEBG).
Collaborating with regional partners enables Saddleback College to provide Adult Education opportunities.
Beginning in 2013, Saddleback College committed to the State of California's AB 86 goal of providing pathways for Adult Education. Early in 2014, Saddleback’s Division of Community Education, Emeritus Institute, and K-12 Partnerships joined the newly formed South Orange County Regional Consortium (SOCRC) charged with re-envisioning Adult Education. Four Program Advisory Groups, comprised of Saddleback College faculty and K-12 teachers, were formed to consider ways to meet the AB 86 objectives. In Fall 2015, the SOCRC was charged with allocating Adult Education Block Grant (AEBG) funding as outlined in AB 104.
In Summer 2015 Saddleback College, in partnership with Saddleback Valley Unified School District, assumed the responsibility for transitioning Adult Education courses in non-credit ESL, Citizenship, and High School Equivalency (HSE) to the College. Programs are offered at Saddleback Adult Education MV, Mission Viejo (on the Silverado High School campus), and other convenient locations. The college also partners with Capistrano Unified School District (CUSD) and transitioned Adult Education programming from CUSD to Saddleback College in Summer 2016. Programs are offered at Saddleback Adult Education SJC, San Juan Capistrano, and extend to other off-site locations to meet the needs of our adult learners.
The College also partners with the Orange County Department of Education (OCDE) to offer the College and Career Preparatory Academy (CCPA) High School Diploma (HSD) program. HSD programs are offered at the College and Career Campus in San Juan Capistrano and at Saddleback Adult Education MV, on the campus of Silverado High School.
