About Long Beach Adult School
Long Beach School for Adults (LBSA) has supported adult education for over 100 years, and currently serves 1,200 students. In 2025 a new facility was launched where they can serve more students. Their Career Technical Education program includes Custodial Services and Building Maintenance, Animal Care and Veterinary Services, Campus Staff Assistant, Certified Nursing Assistant, Instructional Assistant SPED, Class A and Class B License, and Culinary Arts.
Key Accomplishments
With the support of their dedicated coach, leadership development training, and coursework for digital implementation strategies, the LBAS team was able to do the following:
- In-Class Digital Literacy Workshops for ESL Students: To better support our ESL students, LBSA has integrated modified digital literacy lessons directly into all ESL classes and at our offsite locations.
- Launched a 4-Part Chromebook & Technology Workshop: To help students build essential digital skills for those new to Chromebooks, those needing a refresher on basic technology, or tech-savvy ESL students who do not know English technology vocabulary.
