College's Continuing Education extends reach, fills gap in programming

SARATOGA, New York (Sept. 27, 2022) — Check your mailbox, Saratoga Springs School District residents! This week, SUNY Adirondack’s Continuing Education brochure for fall and winter programs will arrive, bringing with it an array of classes for all ages and interests.

“We’re excited to bring community education back to Saratoga,” said Caelynn Prylo, dean of Continuing Education and Workforce Innovation at SUNY Adirondack.

The college over the summer announced Continuing Education at Saratoga, a partnership with the school district to offer programming at the college’s Wilton facility and the school’s buildings. 

Partnering with SUNY Adirondack’s long-standing, successful program will bring back new and past courses and instructors to Saratoga Springs residents. Classes are offered for such varied interests as cooking, fitness, arts, languages and trips and tours throughout the region.

“We hope our community members will take advantage of the robust programs and unique continuing education courses SUNY Adirondack will be able to offer in our local schools,” said Michael Patton, superintendent of schools.

Class prices start at $15 for single-session experiences and vary through $89 for multiple-week programs. Also offered are workforce development and upskilling courses at higher costs, with some offering funding opportunities.

“Our Continuing Education programs have long brought joy to people who want to learn something new, like a language or cooking, or want to fine tune skills developed years ago, like playing an instrument or painting,” Prylo said. “But we also partner with regional employers to ensure our area has a well-trained workforce.” 

Now doing so is easier than ever with online registration requests. An online brochure is available at https://www.sunyacc.edu/continuing-ed/continuing-education-saratoga. That page also offers a link to a user-friendly registration request form.
