Student Programs

We believe that literacy changes lives for the better. In fact, we know it. Literacy and English language proficiency are tools that help people rise out of poverty and get better-paying jobs to support their families. Literacy allows parents to read to their children. Improved literacy skills benefit not only the struggling reader, but everyone in our community regardless of age, race, gender, or background. We offer our students personal instruction and appropriate materials. As a result, we improve our community, our economy and individuals’ lives. We serve students in five core programs: Barton Reading and Spelling System, English as a Second Language (ESL) and Citizenship, Adult Education/GED® Prep, Health Literacy, and Read & Create.
