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.
