The English as a Second Language Program is for non-native English speakers to improve their English skills in order to successfully begin living and working in the United States. Students learn skills that can be applied to daily life and help students transition to higher education or the workforce. Our ESL Program has a variety of schedule options. We offer morning and evening classes at every location 2-4 days per week. We also offer online classes for students with a busier schedule.
