Adult Education
We provide assistance with preparing for the G.E.D., as well as English as a Second Language (ESL) and Citizenship classes. ESL and Citizenship classes serve hundreds of adult learners each year, from more than 30 countries around the world. Classes are held at five sites throughout Orleans, Jefferson, and St. Tammany parishes. Both morning and evening classes are offered, and made possible with the dedication of hundreds of volunteers. Our ESL and Citizenship classes provide a key component to helping immigrants become independent, productive, and integral members of our society, and classes are open to those who have recently arrived as well as those who have been living in the United States for several years.
For more information on our G.E.D. and computer literacy classes, please call (504) 861-6349.
