Cambridge Center for Adult Education

The Cambridge Center for Adult Education is a self-supporting non-profit organization providing community members with the opportunity to explore their interests and nurture their talents and potential in small groups and in an informal, affordable and social setting. CCAE is dedicated to experiential learning with gifted teachers committed to inspiring, challenging and supporting curious students. Housed in historic buildings in Harvard Square, CCAE and its welcoming staff promote a sense of exploration and discovery. At CCAE, students from all walks of life and a wide range of communities – from neighboring states and the world at large – come together around a shared interest, without regard to background, experience, age or income. These diverse combinations stimulate both a greater appreciation for our similarities and differences as well as fresh insights into a wide range of topics, from the visual arts to literature, from ESL to culinary craft, from dance to theatre, from music to entrepreneurship, and beyond.
