EL/Civics Program is funded by the Federal
EL/Civics grant
coming through the PA Department of
Education.

The
main goal of EL/Civics program is to help students develop English-language
skills, and learn about the responsibilities of active citizens.
We also prepare eligible learners for the citizenship interview, explain how
to register to vote, and encourage them to exercise this right, help register
for selective service and provide our students with educational materials.

Classes
are conducted weekday mornings from 9:30 am till 12 pm and weekday evenings
from 7 pm till 9:30 pm. We operate classes on both managed enrollment and
open entry-open exit enrollment bases. The results of initial formal and
informal assessments determine the appropriate instructional level for each
and every student in the ESL program.

As a
participant in the EL/Civics Classes, you will be expected to: take a
placement test; set educational, career/employment and/or civics goals; get
at least 50 hours of instruction; take the posttest; report your goal
achievement.
