Queens Public Library- Peninsula ALC
Agency Location:
9225 Rockaway Beach Blvd. Rockaway Beach, New York. 11693
Agency Description:
Peninsula ALC is one of seven Adult Learning centers in Queens library, that provides “Learn to Read” programs and classes for beginning to mid-level Adult Basic Education (ABE), English for Speakers of Other Languages(ESOL), Citizenship Preparation and Pre-HSE classes to prepare students for the TASC Exam to help them obtain their High School Equivalency diploma.
Our ABE classes emphasize basic skills such as reading and writing, as well as English language competency and problem-solving. Our ABE curriculum reflects a philosophy that adults can and want to learn, that they are able and willing to take responsibility for that learning. Thus, our need-centered classes are self-directed and delve into the rich source of experiences of our students.
Agency Highlight:
Peninsula Adult Learning Center is a NYSED TASC testing site. Classes are offered approximately 3 hours per day, twice a week. Evening, daytime, and weekend schedules are available. In the past academic year, we are proud to have had the privilege to help 14 of our learners obtain their High School Equivalency diplomas, two students who passed their citizenship test and received their Naturalization certificates, as well as three emerging writers whose works were published in Literacy Reviews and Symphony Space publications.
One of which is Dolores Jones who was published in both publications after working diligently with her teacher Todd Capp who teaches the ALE reading and writing class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:30-5:30. Choosing Dolores has served as a motivation to encourage other students to start writing and submitting short stories. Countless other learners have obtained and improve their jobs and moved on to post-secondary institutions and programs.
Registration Information:
