Connecting you with the support you need.

Spruce Mountain Adult Education is more than a place to learn — it’s a community hub. We’re proud to host and partner with local organizations that provide valuable services to our community. These programs are open to everyone, not just enrolled students, and are designed to support individuals and families across Androscoggin, Franklin, and Oxford Counties.
