Agency Description:

Our class sizes range from 15 students to 40 students. In addition to English classes, we also offer a citizenship study group and a basic computer literacy group.

Customers with a valid Queens Library card may borrow study materials to use at home for independent study. Case management is available by appointment only. Currently, we have two ESOL classes receiving the ALE funding, serving over 70 actively participating students.
Agency Highlight:
This past fall semester, we had a NRS level 2 student, Nory, in the beginning level morning ALE class, who not only committed to attending the class, but also seeked out every opportunity to set aside time to practice outside of class on her own or with people around her. She achieved NRS level 7 at post test at the end of the semester. Her success was celebrated in class and became an inspiration to her fellow classmates.
