Overview

Clearview Adult Education Center (CVAEC) sits on the corner of 38th Avenue and 43rd Street in St. Petersburg. The main entrance is on 43rd Street. The parking lot is across the street behind the church. This beautiful brick building formerly housed Clearview Elementary School before being converted into a center where adult students can come and find ways to improve their lives. "The mission of Clearview Adult Education Center is to provide a learning environment for our diverse adult population which will empower them to reach personal, career and economic goals and become productive members of society." Clearview offers GED and Adult Credit Recovery classes for students and adults wishing to earn their diploma and English (ESOL) classes for second language learners. Additional classes offered are Computer Systems & Information Technology (CSIT-IET), GOALS, and more depending on the need. Classes are available in person both day and night and online for those who qualify. Registration is available on a continuous basis for students and adults aged 16 and up.

Find Your Next Learning Opportunity

Explore Clearview Adult Education Center’s programs for finishing high school, improving English and academic skills, preparing for technology careers, and reaching personal and professional goals.

Adult Credit Recovery

Adult Credit Recovery helps eligible former Pinellas County School students, generally age 16 and older, complete only the high school courses they still need for a standard diploma. Clearview evaluates past transcripts, preserves previously earned credits, and provides a self-paced, mastery-based curriculum. Students meet with a coordinator first to establish eligibility, then work toward completing missing credits in a focused adult learning environment.

ESOL English Classes

Clearview’s ESOL program helps adult students at different English levels improve communication and build the language skills needed for work, education, and daily life. Students take an initial skills test and attend orientation before placement, with day, evening, open computer lab, and qualifying online options available. Support may also help learners strengthen basic skills before entering vocational training or university.

Clearview uses this focused pathway to connect English-language development with broader academic and employment goals.
