Community Education

Do you know someone who is new to this country and is having difficulty reading, writing or speaking English? We offer an excellent "English As A Second Language" program for zero speakers through the advanced level. We assist these students with essential life skills including check writing, job applications/resumes and finding housing. Individual attention is given to students in the areas of pronunciation, spelling and grammar, idioms and preparation for citizenship.

We offer FREE day and evening classes at the Community Education Center, located at 38901 Dodge Park Rd. at 17 Mile. Students should plan on spending two hours for registration and testing. Students must show a drivers license, passport or social security card at registration. We will not accept any identification number from memory. No child care or transportation is available at this time.
