About

We are here to help you reach your goals!

Established in 1969, Valley Regional Adult Education (VRAE) was the first regional adult education agency in Connecticut. We provide educational services to the residents of Ansonia, Derby, Monroe, Seymour, and Shelton. Adults come to Valley Regional Adult Education to attend our free academic programs or to take advantage of numerous enrichment classes offered in each Valley town.

These programs operate through each local school district for the benefit of its community residents.

Academic Programming is for obtaining your high school credentials or to learn and improve your English language skills. Academic classes are FREE to Valley residents. We offer day and evening classes. There is free parking. Our staff is friendly and caring, our teachers and counselors are state-certified.
