Welcome to Scarborough’s
Adult Learning Center
Open up to learning. Open up your world.
Scarborough’s Adult Learning Center is operated by the Scarborough School Department and is located in
Room A100 at Scarborough High School. Most of the Center’s courses are held late afternoons and evenings
in the classrooms of Scarborough High School. The Center’s mission is to offer life-long learning opportunities
to citizens of the community by providing a range of enrichment, academic, and vocational programming.
FROM THE DESK OF THE DIRECTOR
Maine Adult Education
“Learning for Work and Life”
Registration begins
September 4th
W
elcome to our Fall catalog! We can offer something for everyone this semester. The focus of Adult Education in Maine has
expanded from traditional high school diploma
classes to providing community members with
pathways to career and/or college success. We
offer adult diploma/GED classes and testing
but there is a demand for vocational courses
available to residents. To that end we have submitted a Career Pathways Plan to the Department of Education outlining what steps will be
taken to promote skills training and career advising locally.
This Spring we began an English Language
Learners program in the evenings to meet the
needs of a diversified Scarborough population.
If you or someone you know could use assistance with English we hope that you will attend our Fall Open House listed in the catalog.
Adult Education will still offer an array of
enrichment classes to better your daily lives.
Please let us know if you have any suggestions
for future course offerings or if you may want
to teach a class with us. This is your program
and your input is welcomed at any time. You
can e-mail me directly at [email protected] with suggestions for program
improvement.

Joan Tremberth, MS, CAS Adult Learning

PAST LIFE REGRESSION
elcoming new and loyal past participants! Are you
simply curious about the fascinating notion of past lives?
Guided meditation/hypnosis offers the chance to achieve a deep
level of relaxation, enter the subconscious mind, and explore
the possibility of one’s past lives. It’s an exciting journey
within that could change your life by bringing the wisdom and
understanding of other lifetimes into your current life. Bring a
chair pillow, reclining beach or camp chair for added comfort.

ew! Do you feel like your life is lacking purpose, direction
or vision, and want to get a better sense of who you are
or why you’re here? Experience the process of identifying
your “Heartfelt Intention,” a form of
affirmation that comes from deep within
your own personal knowing and serves
as your unique “mission statement”
in guiding you through life. Integrate
your intention into your entire being
through the process of Yoga Nidra,
Sacred Sound Gong Vibration and
hands-on ZERO Balancing in order to
help manifest this intention into your
life. Bring yoga mat or towel to lie down on. Ages 16 and up.

weight serving a purpose? Does it provide protection, a buffer,
a sponge to absorb negative feelings? Or could it be a way to
punish yourself, keep you in a rut, or prevent you from trying new
things? What is your connection to food? Let guided meditation/
hypnosis help you identify and release old connections, and build
new ones to lead to a thinner, healthier you. Take home a free CD
(usually sells for $15). Bring a chair pillow, reclining beach or
camp chair for added comfort. See instructor bio at lower left.
