Since 1938, The Cambridge Center has consistently offered a diverse menu of courses to adults in Cambridge and surrounding areas.
Some quick facts:
- We are a non-profit.
- We are self-supporting, relying on tuition income and contributions.
- We are here to give people the opportunity to explore their interests and nurture their talents and potential.
First incorporated as the Cambridge Social Union in April 1876, then in 1938, we officially became the Cambridge Center for Adult Education. In 1889 the Social Union purchased and moved into the House of William Brattle at 42 Brattle Street, which was built in 1727. In late 1972 the Cambridge Center acquired the Blacksmith House (the former Window Shop) property. Blacksmith House includes the Dexter Pratt House, built in 1811, where Longfellow observed the famous Village Blacksmith at work under the Spreading Chestnut Tree in 1839. Both houses are being preserved by the Center as living museums and are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
You can send feedback to Elizabeth, via estewart AT ccae DOT org. And you can always browse courses at our main page: www.ccae.org.
The Cambridge Center for Adult Education is funded in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

Hello,
Some of your ESL courses do not have Instructors’ names.
It would be really helpful if you could put the name,education of the person who is going to teach ESL classes.
As a non-profit I believe you get sponsored mainly for such classes. Thank you.

Hello, and thank you for your comment. As you may have noticed, we have recently updated the look of our website, and adding instructor names and information is something that we have been discussing. Perhaps for the winter term we will be able to include our instructors’ names on the website. It is, unfortunately, not possible to do this with our catalog.
In the meantime, you can always call the registration office to find out who will be teaching which classes.
I hope that you decide to learn with us!

Good Morning,
After reading an article about one of your students I think we may be able to help others get published. We are a local company based out of Andover ,Ma. The Helium Marketplace is the solution for magazines and websites in search of new, fresh content. Our writing community of 86,000+ represents a tour de force for producing custom content.
The Publishers Guide to the Helium Marketplace is attached for your convenience. This short guide contains the questions that are most frequently asked and should be a helpful first reference.
Here’s how it works:
You request the titles, you set the writers fees and our writers compete to produce the content. You pay only for the articles you select. No sign-up fee, no deposit, no obligations.
If you would like, we can send you an agreement and get titles up for you usually within two business days. Within a few weeks you should have sufficient article submissions from which to make some selections. Helium’s patented ranking engine helps to reduce the amount of work you need to do to make selections by bringing the highest-quality content to the top of the listings for each title.
Please let me know the best way to reach you and a convenient time for a phone call (also, please let me know what time zone you’re in!).
Warm regards,
Amy Patrissi

Hello,
I will be moving back to the Cambridge area in June. I was wondering where you list employment opportunities; I couldn’t seem to find a link on your website. If possible, could you let me know where you usually post job openings for your admin. staff (ie: Craigslist or Boston.com)?
Many Thanks!
Sarah

Thanks for your comment, Margaret! Unfortunately, at this time, we don’t have the capability of online courses, and since one of the great things about the Cambridge Center is the face-to-face interaction, we’re wary to go in that direction for now. But we’ll be sure to keep you updated if anything becomes available in the form of new technology, like podcasts of lectures or classes!
