The Jamaica Plain Community Centers Adult Learning Program (JPCCALP) is the ideal way to develop your skills in English, math, reading, and writing, and make progress towards your educational goals. We offer free, day, evening, face-to-face, online, and hybrid classes convenient for busy adults. ALP is a full-service program where students can begin at any level and advance to college.
In the ESOL-English for Speakers of other Languages program, all aspects of English are taught in the class such as, listening, speaking, reading, writing, new vocabulary, pronunciation, conversation, and grammar. Students learn to communicate better with employers, doctors, their children and their children’s teachers, thus becoming more independent in the U.S. Students will also become better candidates for employment and advanced education.
