    Testing:

    Upon enrollment, students are given a short English assessment test to determine their level of English proficiency. The test results are used to place students in the appropriate ESL classes. Students are then tested using the standardized test for ESL students, CASAS, three times a semester to assess progress in order to move to the next level.

    ESL/Citizenship:

    This course offers individualized instruction to prepare for the US Citizenship Test and interview. For more information and an appointment call: 650-550-7891.

    Distance Learning: Learn English at Home:

    ESL lessons are also available through individualized instruction and online for students who are unable to attend regular classes. Materials are provided. Complete the assignments, talk with the teacher and improve your English. For more information and an appointment call: 650-550-7891.

    Computer Classes for ESL:

    ESL students have the opportunity to learn to use the computer to study English. Classes visit the computer lab on a regular basis where students not only study English on the computer, but learn basic computer skills. There is also a Computer for Employment Skills class in the afternoons from 1:00 pm-2:30 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays.
