PROGRAM INFORMATION

Reading, Writing, and Mathematics (Adult Basic Education)
These classes are designed for adults, primarily native English speakers, who want to improve their reading, writing, and math skills. These developmental programs take learners from reading, writing, and math level 0 to level 12.0. Class materials are designed to help increase reading, writing, and math skills so that students can eventually earn an adult high school diploma, GED, college degree, or reenter the workforce.

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 Immigration Services (USCIS). These classes are suitable for learners of English as a Second Language at the High-Beginning through High-Intermediate levels.
