Why Study Here

Small steps, real progress. Our program moves through clear levels, so you always know what comes next.

Learn to speak and to write. Each level includes two classes: one for reading and writing, and one for speaking and listening. Take one or take both.

Evening classes. All classes meet from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., twice a week. Keep your day open for work and family.

Earn a certificate. When you finish a level, you receive a certificate of completion.

How it Works

Our program has levels that move from beginner to advanced. At each level, you can take two classes:

  • Reading, Writing & Grammar — meets Monday and Wednesday
  • Listening & Speaking — meets Tuesday and Thursday

Both classes meet from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Each classes runs for 17 sessions.

We offer four terms a year. Each term lasts two months: Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall.

Classes give you a certificate when you finish, but they do not count for university credit.
