The Ministry Center at Green Springs offers five levels, Basic through Advanced, of conversational English as a Second Language (ESL) classes on Tuesday nights, 6:30-8:00, during the school year.

We also have a nursery and tutor English learners’ children through grade 6.

In the past year, we have had students from 19 different countries in our ESL classes.

We have two teachers per adult class, nursery workers on a rotating basis, and teachers for children’s classes. We use English: No Problem publications as teaching materials for adult English Language Classes.

Current needs: Teacher for Computer lab for children, teachers for adult English as Second Language classes.

About Those we Serve:

Newcomers face many challenges which are compounded when they cannot readily speak the language. Our free English as Second Language classes can help newcomers face those challenges.
