Print catalogues are now available in the county libraries, in businesses and organizations all over the area.  Click "Classes" to view classes online, or view a PDF of the catalogue here. We mail catalogues to former students.   If you want to know where to find a print catalogue, contact us by email.   Most classes begin the week of September 7th but several begin earlier and several extend beyond the 8 week term.  Our fees are the lowest you will find anywhere in the area but we are proud of the quality of the programs and the excellent instructors that choose to teach in our adult school.   Classes are scheduled during the day at various locations as well as Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Montrose Area High School.   Some have size limitations so register early to avoid being disappointed.   If you would like information regarding scholarships, please call 570-278-2006.
