Cambridge Center for Adult Education

About

The Cambridge Center for Adult Education is a nonprofit in Harvard Square that has offered classes for adults since 1871. Its hands-on courses span art, cooking, theater, life and wellness, languages and literature, aimed at people who want to broaden their outlook, build professional skills, take up a hobby or simply meet others in a community of lifelong learners. Students come from all walks of life.

CCAE occupies two historic buildings on Brattle Street near the Harvard Square T station, and it also rents out its classroom and meeting spaces. Options range from standard classrooms and conference rooms to a state-of-the-art kitchen refurbished in 2014. Groups can book the kitchen for team building, birthday celebrations with family and friends, and other private events, including chef-led private cooking classes, with or without wine pairings.
