When you help yourself learn, you help others  to learn as well.
As a community school for adults we offer conversational English, Spanish, Chinese, and Somali Language and Culture. Our language classes foster independence and stimulate communication among our diverse community.

  • We help immigrants and refugees gain English language skills. 
  • We offer Spanish language training to Twin Cities Metro area firefighters, police officers, and city staff so that they may better communicate with the people they serve.

We believe removing communication barriers creates more trusting social interaction, and creates economic advancement. 
Fees for Spanish and Somali classes help provide low-cost or free English classes for immigrants and refugees in Northeast Minneapolis.
