English as a Second Language

Learning English is vital to succeeding in America.


ENGLISH CLASSES
We offer nine levels of adult English classes with a carefully structured and results-oriented curriculum.

CHILDCARE DURING CLASS
Children, infants to four years old, participate in developmentally appropriate activities.

FAMILY LITERACY
Parents and children do English literacy and pre-literacy activities together in an elective class.

COMMUNITY ACCESS
Guest speakers and field trips provide information to connect students with community resources.

HOSPITALITY
The ESL environment fosters a caring community and friendships across many different cultures.


Classes

We offer two twelve-week, ninety-hour terms a year with enrollment of 150 adults and 70 children each term. English classes, from beginning to advanced, meet three mornings a week and childcare is provided during class. Family literacy meets an elective fourth morning. A low fee of $50 covers all classes in a term.

Students

We have welcomed students from over 70 different countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East.

Facilities

We use exceptional facilities in the new Fowler House of Christ Church: nine ESL classrooms, five childcare rooms, meeting rooms, and a computer lab.
