COMMUNITY GUIDE 2025
Keeping curiosity the focus at Community Ed
With Edina Community Education programs, learning doesn’ t have to stop after graduation. Its offerings are a reminder that it’ s never too late – or too early – to learn a new skill or find a new hobby.
As part of Edina Public Schools, the educational resource provides people of all ages the chance to enrich their lives with courses in topics like technology, fitness, languages and food at all times of the year.
Enrichment begins at the Early Learning Center, which provides broad programs meant to develop a wide range of skills in early learners. For children ages birth to 5 and their parents, the center provides parenting classes, preschool classes with licensed teachers, a school readiness program and childcare.
And for elementary youth, community education provides an opportunity for school age care with KIDS Club, and other experiential and enrichment classes offered after school, in the evenings and on Saturdays. Through these experiences, students can discover a passion for knitting, painting, coding, chess and so much more. All of these programs allow for increased socialization, skill development and, of course, fun.

Programming is also available for older kids at both of Edina’ s middle schools.
For students in middle and high school grade levels, Edina Community Education provides the chance to improve upon skills through a youth development / youth service platform. With this, these secondary students are able to explore college, career and life opportunities while also looking at ways they can become leaders in their community.
Further down the age continuum, Community Education’ s adult learners can take courses in fitness, aquatics, woodworking and more. Community Ed also offers intergenerational opportunities, including a volunteer program in which adults build connections with students to prepare them for life beyond the classroom.
No matter your stage of life, Edina Community Education promises to keep curiosity and learning at the center of it.
