Ellsworth Adult & Community Education welcomes people interested in learning English so they can reach their personal, family, work and community goals. The first step is to meet with a student advisor to make a plan that meets individual goals. We have small group classes in the evening for beginners, we have volunteer tutors who meet at a time that works best for learners, and more advanced learners can join others working on their reading, writing and English skills.  This is an in-person class.

If you would like to learn more about this class call 207.664.7110, or email adultedinfo@ellsworthschools.org for an appointment with a student advisor.

Most of us take hundreds of photos that languish on our iPhone/iPad or in the cloud. Knowing how to edit images and organize your photos on your iPhone and iPad is essential. Other areas of study include using the tabs in the Photos app —“For You" tab (ready-made slide shows), creating, using, and sharing albums, and the very useful search function.

Using your iPhone or iPad photo apps, this is a natural follow-up to the first course, but is a stand-alone course as well. The focus here is on editing images as well as knowing how to organize images and video on iPhones and iPads.
