St. Joseph's Adult Education Programme, which was nominated as one of the three Western Cape finalists for the Premier and Presidential Education Africa Awards, was initiated 12 years ago. We have a huge literacy project. We offer free literacy to those from the disadvantaged community in the three dominant languages of the Western Cape. We also have a large range of skills orientated courses including photography, art, sewing and business offered by KPMG, the international auditing company.

We also offer free cultural programmes to the general public. Our past guests who offer their skills include the Alibass duo from the UK, Russian concert pianist Victor Rybchikov who performed at the Baxter and other venues during his debut visit to South Africa, Michael Rosenzweig award winning composer and conductor and eleven American women writers, as part of the ambassadorial tour. We have an alternative health project and a Montessori training project and we offer bursaries and reduced fees for seniors, the unemployed and students. Our alternative health project is wide and diverse including classes in Kundalini yoga, tai chi and Hare Krishna vegetarian cuisine. We also have a free child care facility so that learners can leave their children while they study. Each week we also pick up our disabled literacy learners and women and children who live in inaccessible areas. Our Programme is open to everyone.
