In 1955, the Fairfax County Public School Board established Adult and Community Education (ACE). The mission of ACE is to supply lifelong learning and educational opportunities to the community. These classes are held at school and county locations or online. Our classes are offered all 12 months out of the year, seven days a week. We support excellence, equity, and opportunity and use best practices in teaching and learning to offer affordable classes both virtually and in person.
