Basic Literacy - the lack of basic Literacy skills has proven to contribute to lower paying jobs, crime, lack of civic and community involvement, and low self-esteem. Our basic Literacy program caters to students with low Literacy skills in reading, writing, and math. This curriculum is a student-centered program that caters to adults. Our program includes a variety of levels, from reading and writing for beginners to ged test prep. English language learner - communicating in the english language is essential for success in the united states.
