English for New Americans

We offer English for New Americans (ENA) classes in Manchester for refugees, immigrants and visitors from many other countries to come together to practice reading, writing, listening and speaking the English language. Our classes offer practical English for living and working in the community as well as conversing with friends and neighbors. Our curriculum of English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) covers the four core areas of language acquisition: understanding, speaking, reading and writing. Each class addresses the needs of each student’s levels of English proficiency from beginner to advanced and also offers advancement in basic computer skills for enrolled students. Citizenship classes are offered in the Fall and Spring. These classes are open to anyone needing help preparing to take the exam to become a naturalized American Citizen.

Basic needs are defined as something that we must have in order to live. Recognizing that our students cannot thrive when they may be worried about basic necessities, this section provides resources across the community where essential services and supports can be found.

Early Childhood

Early childhood education not only prepares our youngest students to be in school, but also supports the development of a child’s social and emotional skills.
