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 in-person 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 40-60 hours (2-3 months), and taking a second test to demonstrate progress. Students must attend class regularly and consistently for a minimum of 6 hours per week.
3. How to join our English classes?
To join our English classes, you must register in-person. You must bring your chosen form of photo ID to the registration session. Each registration session takes about one hour and you will receive information about all our class options and the requirements of our program. After your registration is complete, you will schedule a placement test to determine your class level.
**You must register in-person. You cannot register for ESL classes with an online application.** All future students will need to sign-up for an in-person registration session here on the website.
Registration for our Fall semester will begin on July 7, 2025. Please check back at that time to sign up for a registration session. Fall semester classes will begin August 18.
