English-language classes are available from beginning literacy to advanced ENL (English as a New Language). In preparation for the TASC (Test Assessing Secondary Completion, formerly known as GED) examination, courses are offered to improve math, reading, science, social studies and writing skills. Once enrolled, students may also take electives, such as Conversational English, Crossroads Café and Citizenship.
