Community School Opens Fall Classes for Adults

Classes like hiking, dance, photography, upholstery, cooking, healthy eating, and more are open to Mahwah students.

Back to school is ramping up for local students of all ages. 

About a month after re-branding itself and changing its name, the "Ramsey Community School" is getting ready to accept its fall class of students.

Starting Monday morning, the Ramsey Community School is opening registration for adult education classes running during the Fall 2013 semester. And, adults from Mahwah are welcome to register.

  • If a night out to enjoy the arts is more your liking take a day trip or enjoy a Broadway show. Forget the traffic, parking lot fees, paying for the ever-rising gas prices and the road and bridge tolls – let RCS do the driving! RCS offers over 20 day trips to places like the Big Apple Food Tour, Kykuit, Grand Central Terminal and The High Line & Chelsea Market, or a trip to the West Point Christmas Concert & Champagne Brunch at the Hotel Thayer. Maybe take in a Broadway show - go see Matilda, Wicked, Cinderella or Jersey Boys this fall. Or, plan a trip out of town to North Carolina, Nashville, TN, Ottowa & the Thousand Islands, or even Paris, France.
