Adult Education Programs

Teacher of the Week: Rachel Sanchez

​One of my favorite quotes by Aristotle is, “he who dares to teach must never cease to learn.” I have been teaching GED for the JCC over the past five years and I have learned so much from my students. I am always astounded that despite their many obstacle, my students want to achieve an education. Over these past few weeks, my students have worked harder than they ever have as they are teaching their own children at home.


​In January, we started partnering with Illuminart. They have been working with three of our ESL classes in the community, and have continued to provide services to our participants through videos. We encourage our students to share these videos with their children and families!

English as a Second Language (ESL) Program
​The English as a Second Language Program offers classes to help adults to improve their English language skills. Day, evening, and Saturday classes are offered at local public schools and in community facilities throughout the year. Instruction focuses on improving reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. The goal of the program is for students to improve their English language skills in order to better communicate with others and participate in community activities.
