March 2020: Because the Institute building is closed, English classes will happen on phones, computers, and through the mail between now and April 13, or until further notice. Find out how to learn English at home.
English for Work classes teach adult refugees, immigrants, citizens, and asylees all levels of English from literacy to pre-college readiness. Classes are free. Students learn academic English grammar, speaking, reading, writing, and listening skills. Students also receive computer training, work readiness, life skills, and access community resources. Students in The English for Work program also receive access to community field trips courtesy of the Saint Anthony Park Community Foundation.
