Mission Statement

Mercer County Adult Education Center's mission is to provide adult education services to individuals throughout Mercer County, PA, who are not enrolled in secondary school. That mission includes offering free classes and one-on-one tutoring to adults seeking to improve their literacy skills in reading, writing, math, English, and digital literacy. This instruction will provide students the chance to obtain, retain, or improve a job; complete their high school educations; or prepare to enter college, trade school or the workforce.

Description

Mercer County Adult Education (MCAE) is a non-profit organization that provides adult education programs across Mercer County. MCAE has been serving adults for more than 20 years. Originally called Grove City Literacy Council, the center was founded in 1990 by a group of local residents. Concerned about the national literacy statistics for adults and aware of a growing need for literacy in the community, they founded the Grove City Education Center for Adults based on the model of other literacy councils in similar-sized towns. Now, we are county wide and known as Mercer County Adult Education. Our Centers are located in Grove City, Sharon, and Greenville and focus on providing adult learners with skills for life at home, in the workplace, and in the community. Our programs are designed for a wide range of learners who want to improve their basic education skills. The Center is currently located on the campus of George Jr. We provide small group and one-to-one instruction to adults interested in passing their GED or improving their literacy skills in reading, writing, math, English or computer use.
