We offer 2 English language learning programs to meet needs of our diverse students: 
Adult Basic Education and Program Preparation and Intensive English.

Adult Basic Education classes are for Wisconsin residents only.  It is a great program to start with if you have never taken English classes before or are at a low English level.  These classes are slower paced and have a set weekly schedule.  These classes will help you improve your skills, discuss career advancement and life skills vocabulary.  Classes are non credit.  Adult Basic Education Schedule

Program Preparation and Intensive English classes are for any student looking to move quicker and more intensively through English studies.  If you are interested in GED/HSED, college programs or just focusing on a specific English skill (pronunciation, reading, writing etc.) these are the classes you need.  These credit courses allow you to pick your hours and choose your course of study.
