We understand that our students are resilient, working parents and adults navigating busy lives, so we offer flexible classes and the support you need to succeed.
Our Approach: Learn, Engage, Act
We believe education is power. Our classes combine building vital skills with building community.
Learning
We build the skills that create new opportunities for ourselves and our families.
Engaging
We build relationships with other immigrants to understand and discuss the issues affecting our community.
Taking Action
We take collective action to defend immigrant rights and build healthy communities for all.

We offer classes on an academic calendar, with new student registration in August and January. Explore our programs to find the right fit for your goals.
Language & Digital Skills
These foundational courses build the confidence and skills you need for daily life, better jobs, and community connection. All classes integrate digital skills to help you thrive in today's world.
Support for Your Success
We know that success in the classroom requires support outside of it. We provide essential wraparound services to remove barriers and help you focus on your education.
On-Site Childcare
Our program provides a safe, healthy, and nurturing space for your children while you attend class. We help with homework and reinforce values through reading circles and fun activities. This year, we provided care for 65 children, enabling 47 parents to pursue their education.
Resource Navigation
(Pathways Program)
Our two full-time Community Navigators work one-on-one with students to address needs and connect them to community resources, including public benefits, healthcare, and legal services. This service is key to student success and retention. This year, 236 families received this vital support.
