The English as a Second Language (ESL) program offers a variety of options to learn and improve English language skills in-person. Classes range from beginning level (the alphabet, letter sounds, and simple words) to advanced (professional and academic vocabulary, grammar, conversations, and writing) level. We offer Citizenship courses to prepare students for the U.S. Citizenship exam.

All classes operate on a semester schedule, and enrollment is open based on class capacity. If a class fills, interested students will be added to a waiting list. As space becomes available in the class, those on the list will be contacted via email and/or phone to offer entry.
