Program Description

Trellus Adult Education offers daily classes in English as a Second Language (ESL), Citizenship, ESL Healthcare, and Computer Skills. We welcome immigrant students from around the world for our ESL, Citizenship, and Healthcare classes and both immigrants and native-English speakers for our Computer Skills classes. We currently have five levels of ESL, from basic literacy to transition classes that help students move to the workplace and higher education. Our classes typically meet weekday mornings, afternoons, and evenings and we have regular registration periods. We also offer three levels of Computer Skills classes, with training from basic computer skills to advanced computer skills for job seekers. Those classes typically meet Mondays through Thursdays. Citizenship and Healthcare ESL classes meet in the afternoon 2 - 4 days per week.
We have two ICAPS/IET programs for job seekers - Google IT Support Certificate ICAPS and Early Childhood and Education Professionals. These classes are offered in the evening.
