Welcome to Monrovia Community Adult School!

I am delighted you have chosen Monrovia Community Adult School (MCAS) and am confident you have found the premier adult education institution in the San Gabriel Valley. As a WASC-accredited and NCAA-approved school offering UC a-g courses through our high school diploma program, we are committed to providing high quality educational opportunities that help students achieve their academic, career and personal goals.

At MCAS, we take great pride in offering a diverse range of outstanding programs, including short-term career technical education (CTE) training, career development, English as a Second Language (ESL), basic education, and high school diploma and equivalency. Every program is designed with one purpose in mind: to empower our students with the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to succeed.

This past year marked an exciting milestone as we celebrated a full year of successful operations as the co-location for the Monrovia America's Job Center of California (AJCC) Affiliate. Through our partnership with the East San Gabriel Valley AJCC (ESGV AJCC), the Los Angeles County Workforce Development Board, and the Department of Economic Opportunity, dedicated ESGV AJCC Case Managers are available on our campus five days a week to provide comprehensive workforce and employment services to our students.

Together, this partnership has produced outstanding results. During this past year, 381 job seekers visited the Monrovia AJCC Affiliate, 166 of them enrolled in the AJCC and received workforce services, 69 were funded for classroom trainings that totaled $196,990, and 55 local Monrovia youth completed paid employment in the Youth@Work program earning in the aggregate $188,707.

MCAS continues to serve as a regional leader in workforce development. In collaboration with the City of Monrovia, we proudly co-sponsored three major Job Fairs during the 2025-26 school year representing a wide variety of industries. These events brought together more than 80 employers and nearly 1,000 job seekers, resulting in nearly 200 immediate job offers. As we begin the 2026–27 school year, we remain committed to building on this success by continuing these valuable community events, and strengthening our job placement partnerships to help even more students launch successful careers.

In addition, MCAS hosts specialized healthcare job fairs designed specifically for students completing our Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA), Medical Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, and Certified Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist programs. Each event connects more than 125 job seekers with over 20 leading healthcare employers, creating direct pathways into rewarding, high-demand careers.

We are equally proud of the continuing growth of our English as a Second Language (ESL) program. To better prepare students for today's workforce, this year we have expanded our offerings beyond traditional language instruction, to include Vocational ESL (VESL), Healthcare Literacy, and Healthcare Bridge courses. These innovative pathways combine English language development with career-focused instruction, ensuring students gain the communication skills and workplace competencies needed for long-term success.

None of this would be possible without the unwavering support of the Monrovia Board of Education and the Monrovia Unified School District. Their continued leadership and investment allow MCAS to focus on what matters most – creating opportunities that positively impact our students, their families and our community.

Monrovia Community Adult School is honored to be a part of your educational journey and we look forward to helping you achieve your goals. If there is ever anything we can do to better serve you, please don't hesitate to let us know.
