English as a Second Language

Adult Education ESL classes are designed to teach adult learners to speak English and improve the learner's lives through the learning process.

Instructors assist students to learn to read, write, and comprehend the English language, thus improving their opportunities for substantial employment and allowing them to better participate in the lives of their children.

Part of this basic instruction includes information and activities that teach community awareness and encourage civic responsibility and involvement. Students will obtain a better understanding of the banking, health, legal, education and government system in the U.S.

All ESL classes are free of charge and no documentation is required to enroll. As an added bonus, some of our locations offer free childcare services while parent(s) are attending class.
