These classes are designed for adults, primarily native English speakers, who want to improve their reading and writing skills. This developmental reading program takes learners from reading level 0 to reading level 6.0. Class materials reflect real-life situations designed to hold the interest of adults.

English as a Second Language (ESL)
These classes are designed for non-native English speakers who wish to improve their skills in reading and speaking English. Beginning classes are geared toward learners who have little or no prior knowledge of English. As learners advance through the program, they will master progressively higher levels of language and workplace and life skills.

Citizenship Preparation
Citizenship preparation classes are designed for non-native speakers of English who are interested in applying for naturalization and want to prepare for the civics and English test and interview required by the United States Citizenship Information Services (USCIS). These classes are suitable for learners of English as a Second Language at the High-Beginning through High-Intermediate levels.
