I've always gotten a kick out of receiving the town's bi-yearly adult ed brochure, and reading…read moreabout the different classes offered (a two week course on "How to Turn on a Computer," "Basic Coastal Navigation," "Gum Paste Flower Bouquets," and let's not forget "The Enneagram & You"...). But until recently, scheduling conflicts always prevented me from enrolling. Luckily, that changed last month, when my husband, brother, and sister-in-law signed up for a Vietnamese spring roll class taught by Kevin Nguyen, the owner of Pho 75 in Windsor Locks. New to the adult ed "scene," we weren't sure what to expect when we pulled up to our local high school. The class was taught in a home ec room, and we were joined by fifteen or so other people, varying in age from teenage to senior citizen. Kevin provided a recipe-- and of course, all of the ingredients-- then demonstrated the process. He was engaging and friendly as he demystified seemingly complicated techniques, and we really enjoyed the two-hour class. We each made between four and six spring rolls (which were delicious, by the way), and it was well worth the low $22 fee. We've since made spring rolls at home, and are so glad to have learned how to do it! I would encourage anyone-- you don't even have to be a Windsor Locks resident, although they do receive priority-- to check out the town's (or your town's) adult ed offerings. Classes are usually fairly inexpensive, and hey, it'll keep you off the streets. ;)

I was scheduled to take a certification exam at RIRAL Testing Center in Woonsocket, RI on Saturday,…read moreSeptember 14, 2024 at 9:00 AM. On my Meazure Learning Scheduling Confirmation Notice (Admission Ticket), the reporting time was 08:45 AM. I arrived in the parking lot about 8:35 AM. There were plenty of parking spots. Around 8:40 AM, I headed into the building and took the elevator up to the 4th Floor. I followed the signs to RIRAL Testing Center. The proctor was helping someone at the moment so she told me to go to the waiting room. The waiting room was 2 doors down. Once the proctor was ready for the next check-in, she went to the waiting room to grab the next person. I submitted my confirmation notice to the proctor. She checked my current, government-issued photo identification (ID) with signature (driver's license), verified the exam I was taking, verified I was not permitted to have any reference items, let me choose a locker to put my car keys in, asked me to roll up my jeans to show my ankle and asked to see my ears, and then walked me to the exam room. She inputted some information in the computer and then I was off to take the exam. The proctor informed me that the room is being recorded, raise my hand if I have any questions, and wished me luck. During the exam, she would walk in and see how we were doing. After submitting my exam, I got up and the proctor returned to shut down the computer. I checked out and grabbed my car keys from the locker. There were about 7 other people taking their exam with me, but each cubicle is spacious. Taking the electronic exam at RIRAL Testing Center was seamless from parking, checking-in, and checking-out with the proctor. The desktop and keyboard were good. I didn't use the restroom, but the restroom was by the elevators and a key needs to be used.

It's well worth the drive from Cambridge, and judging from the number of other folks who come from as far away, many agree. Whenever we have to miss a week due to illness or vacation, my daughter is more sad about missing art than anything else. I also appreciate the diversity of subjects they have in the drawing classes; many different objects and people from world cultures are represented, and John always gives a little talk about what they're drawing, whether it's a famous building or a particular species of animal or an important historical person. I'm impressed with the quality of teaching both in terms of skills and how much the teachers seem to care about the kids.

Our curriculum driven program is designed to teach to the strengths and abilities of general age ranges, however our class sizes are limited and small so we can focus on the needs of individual students as well. Our program and class structure has evolved over the years into a comprehensive presentation of core concepts and developmental skill building projects built around student friendly topics and drawing subjects. We offer classes that are specific to elementary, middle-school, and high-school children, intermediate and advanced level students, and even students who are developing portfolios for further study in art schools and colleges. We also have procreate, home-school, and adult classes for people looking for personal enrichment and individual skills development.
