A typical student’s weekly class schedule consists of 6 classes totaling:
13.5 hours of core classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday
9 hours of technology applications, career readiness and community English on Tuesday, Thursday
Class schedules available (22.5 hours)

Free one-on-one or small group tutoring is available depending on interest and need. Contact us to learn more.
Academic Credits
Students who successfully complete a program of 8 weeks or longer at the English Center can earn units of academic credit. Each 8-week term is equivalent to a college “quarter” term. The full-time student can earn 9 credits each 8-week session. This credit can entitle employees to tuition reimbursement by their employers, or can be transferred to colleges and universities that give credit for coursework similar to the English Center’s. A complete catalog of all English Center courses is available by clicking here.
