New ESL Students

    1.  Are you eligible for our English classes?  

Students must be living or working in our service area (Chatham, Effingham, Liberty and Bryan counties) and must be present for registration.  

Students must provide an unexpired photo identification as follows: 

US Citizens–driver’s license, state ID, US passport, or military ID

Permanent Residents–permanent resident card

Nonimmigrant Aliens–employment authorization card, US visa (NOT B1/B2 or F1 unless with a USCIS form showing an application for change of status or asylum pending), or a document issued by the US government with a photograph & A-number 

Photos on phones are not accepted. You must provide the actual document or identification. 

Note that a driver’s license or state ID is only sufficient for US citizens. If you are a permanent resident, bring your green card. If you are a nonimmigrant alien, bring your documents that show your status here, such as your work permit or your passport with a US visa. 

Students must be 16 years and older. Students aged 16-17 years must have a parent or guardian present at registration and bring a letter of non-enrollment from public school.

  2. Are you ready to commit to our English classes?

Students must commit to taking a placement test, attending class for 60 hours (2-3 months), and taking a test to demonstrate progress after 60 hours of attendance. Students must sign a contract that they will attend class for 60 hours.
