The first regional adult education agency in Connecticut, established in 1970, Valley Regional Adult Education (VRAE) provides educational services to the residents of Ansonia, Derby, Monroe, Seymour, and Shelton. Adults come to Valley Regional Adult Education to attend our free Academic Programs or to take advantage of numerous enrichment courses offered in each Valley town. Adult education programs in Connecticut address the needs of the undereducated adult, the new arrival to this country, and the individual as worker, parent and community member. These programs operate through each local school district for the benefit of its community residents.
