Our Focus: Practical Skills for Daily Life

We focus on real-world communication to help you thrive. Our classes emphasize all four core language skills:

Speaking: Gain confidence talking in any situation.
Listening: Understand spoken English with complete ease.
Reading: Enhance your daily reading comprehension skills.
Writing: Express yourself clearly and effectively.

Free Classes and Flexible Schedules

We offer free ESL classes that are continuous (you can join at various points throughout the year) and offer flexible scheduling options to fit your needs. The program levels are beginning low, beginning high, intermediate low, intermediate high, and multi-level. Placement in the appropriate level is determined by attending an orientation and completing a pre-test. This ensures that you are learning in an environment that is tailored to your current skill level.

We offer flexible class options to match your busy schedule. Students must attend all scheduled days for their chosen track.

Morning Track: Monday, Wednesday, & Friday: 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
