Brockton Community Schools was founded in 1970 to provide community education, enrichment and recreation opportunities to children and adults throughout the city. In the past three decades, it has grown and evolved, serving thousands of children and adults in a wide variety of programs, from basketball leagues to sewing courses, English As A Second Language Instruction, GED preparation, automotive repair, yoga and computer classes. Community Schools also provides highly successful vacation and before- and after-school academic and enrichment programs for Brockton children, providing safe spaces and caring adults 12 months a year. A division of the Brockton Public Schools, Community Schools is operated and staffed by highly qualified professionals from the educational, business, sports and arts communities. Community Schools currently oversees four major programmatic areas: academic support and enrichment programs for students, continuing education and ESL services for adults, and recreation and enrichment programs for the community.
