The first step to take ESL classes is to fill out the ESL Interest form.
NOTE: ESL classes are in high demand, and it can take time to receive an invitation to enroll. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Enrollment is a multi-step process. You first must complete the ESL Interest form. We will communicate with you through email about enrollment session opportunities. Please be patient as it can take some time for you to receive an invitation to register for an enrollment session: this is due to high demand for our ESL classes.
For the enrollment session, please bring a government-issued photo ID such as a passport or a driver's license. Information sessions begin promptly at the scheduled time and last about 3 hours – plan on staying until the end. Children are not allowed at the information session.
During the session, you will learn about the program and current class offerings, complete and sign a student information form, provide your class schedule preference and take placement assessments
