CONTINUING EDUCATION
Welcome to the RCS Continuing Education webpage!
RCS believes education doesn't end with graduation from either school or
college. Rather, life should be filled with learning opportunities.
To that end, RCS offers Continuing Education courses for the community in
the fall and spring of each year. Course offerings for the fall and spring
semesters are mailed to all district residents in late August and early
February. The Continuing Education program is self supporting.
Courses are open to all persons in the Capital District region. When necessary, priority is given to residents of the RCS Central School District. Classes are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. The number of participants in each class is limited.
