Overview
CSM Connect supports adult learners as they transition from adult school to College of San Mateo. Whether you’re learning English, seeking a new career, or pursuing a college education—we’re here to help you take the next step.
In collaboration with San Mateo Adult School and La Costa Adult School in Half Moon Bay, CSM Connect provides a welcoming bridge to college for adult learners. This initiative is supported by ACCEL San Mateo County, a regional network that aligns adult education and community college programs to create clear, accessible pathways.
While ACCEL supports the broader coordination, CSM Connect is the local effort at College of San Mateo focused on providing guidance, resources, and encouragement tailored to adult learners. From understanding how to apply to college to exploring programs and building confidence, CSM Connect is here to walk with you each step of the way.
CSM Connect proudly extends its services to Bridge Academy, an alternative high school, recognizing that every learner deserves a clear and supported path to college.
You’re not alone—CSM Connect is here to help you achieve your goals and succeed in college and beyond.
