Cambridge Center For Adult Education

The Cambridge Center For Adult Education offers a wide range of classes on art, computers, languages, cooking, photography and more. (Visit http://www.ccae.org/catalog/courses/ to see the complete listings.) I've taken three classes there so far and my experiences have been mixed. I took a beginners painting class and was yelled at by the teacher for painting while she was talking. I think she taught at grade school during the day and just couldn't make the shift to teaching adults who are in a class for recreation, not a grade. The wine tasting class was much more enjoyable (and the instructor did not take himself too seriously!) I'll be back though for more classes -- they aren't very expensive and its such a great way to try something new. more

They offer quite a number of interesting courses from language class to drama class to photographic class. The classes are held in the afternoon to accommodate the needs for education for working adults who only have time to study after work hours. If they happen to have a course that you are interested in, give it a try and you will not be disappointed. Recommended. more

The CCAE is not a difficult school and doesn't offer that challenging of a curriculum. The spanish course that I took was elementary and not that hard. more
