Adult Literacy and ESL Programs   Imagine the Possibilities …

 

Basic Adult Literacy: 

Helping English-speaking individuals who have low literacy levels (reading, writing, speaking, math) to reach their learning goals; be it for personal reasons, work, college or university, or preparing for GED (General Educational Diploma).  We offer one-on-one tutoring.

 

English as a Second Language (ESL): 

Helping newcomers with their English needs and goals of speaking, writing, reading or math.  We offer group activities, classroom learning and one-on-one tutoring.

Facts about Literacy in Alberta and Canada

 

42% of Albertans don’t have the literacy skills needed to meet ever increasing demands of today’s society.

 

40% of Adult Canadians have low literacy skills.

 

Literacy is an essential skill. Literacy is much more than being able to read and write. It is about using different ways of communicating to help us understand and interact with our world.

 

Let us strive to keep our population and nation literate by reading and taking on the initiative to learn something new each day.
