About Metro North Adult Basic Education (ABE)
Metro North ABE is a partnership between eight school districts and other community partners in the northern metro. Together, we offer free classes to develop basic skills for adults ages 17 and up who are not enrolled in a high school program. Metro North ABE is part of a state-wide network overseen by the Minnesota Department of Education and is funded by both federal and state funds.
