Adult Education

Yelm Community Schools has expanded its educational vision beyond K-12. As part of the district's larger Graduate Yelm! initiative, YCS has formed strong regional partnerships to address a broader range of educational needs. In collaboration with South Puget Sound Community College (SPSCC) and Yelm Timberland Library, the district offers English as a Second Language and High School + Diploma completion courses at Yelm Extension School and promotes SPSCC's Adult Digital Literacy course.

Our goal is to remove every conceivable barrier to educational attainment for Yelm citizens. Through High School + and ESL classes, adults have access to Chromebooks onsite, printing, wifi, and electronic research tools through Yelm Timberland Library. SPSCC further provides career counseling, financial aid information, and access to certificate and degree programs. All services are free of charge.

SPSCC Digital Literacy for Adults

The High School+ (HS+) Program at SPSCC allows adult students age 18 or older to earn a high school diploma issued by SPSCC and the State of Washington. Students can apply credits earned in high school and knowledge gained in the workforce toward a HS+ diploma. Any remaining credits can be earned through self-paced assignments in the HS+ class.

Do you want to improve your English language skills? English as a Second Language (ESL) classes help you speak, listen, read, and write better in English.
