We offer classes for adults whose first language is not English. Students in beginning classes learn to speak, listen for understanding, read, and write English. Intermediate and advanced students have the opportunity to improve conversation, grammar, pronunciation, reading, and writing.
Other classes include:
- U.S. Government and History
- Citizenship
- TOEFL
Classes are ongoing and new students are added to classes every two to three weeks. Classes will begin as virtual but may change during the semester to include both virtual online and/or in-person instruction. Students must attend a virtual testing and/or orientation session before a state date listed below. Once our office receives your application, a staff member will contact you regarding testing and/or orientation.
