Plan a Fulfilling & Fascinating Fall

Fall Classes on light blue background with "Register now!" lower right on orange background, colorful talk bubbles across top.

As summer begins to fade, and the fun-in-the-sun vacation vibes wane, fall is a natural time to re-focus on goals. You can plan now to make fall a fascinating and fulfilling time by registering for a class! 

Learn a skill that you can enjoy for the season or for years to come. Whether you want to learn a language, express yourself through art, develop your cooking and baking chops, or gain other skills, we’re here for you. Discover a new passion or make time to polish up a topic that interests you.

If you're a returnee, you might notice our website looks a little different. If you're new to us, welcome! Continuing Education is designed for the public to have access to relevant and affordable education at Seattle Central College.

Learn from supportive instructors with expertise in their fields and a talent for teaching. Choose from evening, daytime, weekend, and online options. Fall classes are held late September through December, in one to ten sessions, on Capitol Hill, (in Ballard for boating), or online. Register early to ensure your spot in class!
