English Classes (ESL)
The English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program prepares students to communicate competently in English in appropriate situations and perform in the skill areas of listening, speaking, reading, and writing, with equal value placed on each. The length of the program is based upon the study needs of each student.
The ESOL program is for adults 18 and older, to learn more go to: www.BrowardCommunitySchools.com
All teachers are professional educators certified by Broward School Board in ESOL instruction. They are ready to assist you after a placement test (CASAS) which will determine your level of English proficiency.
