St. Joseph Services Adult Education Program

Program Description

St. Joseph Services currently offers hybrid classes for all adults (in-person option location dependent) in the following areas:

English as a Second Language (ESL)
Students learn English in a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere with a curriculum customized to achieve goals. Instruction is offered daily by trained, dedicated tutors in a one-on-one or small group setting. Bilingual tutors are available for those Spanish-speaking students who have little to no English fluency.

Citizenship
The road to achieving citizenship can be confusing and difficult; St. Joseph Services offers assistance that can help ease the journey. Citizenship classes provide instruction on U.S. history, advanced English (reading, writing, and conversation), and other topics covered on U.S. citizenship tests.

Computer Literacy
Beginners learn the basics of manipulating the mouse and keyboard, creating and saving files, accessing the Internet, setting up email, Facebook, and Skype accounts. Students may progress from beginning to intermediate and advanced levels of Microsoft Word and Excel. Instruction focuses on practical skills like creating a resume, conducting internet job searches, and completing online applications. Classes are provided in English and Spanish.
