The Columbia Area Career Center Adult Education and Literacy program provides FREE online and in-person classes for adult students trying to better their English language skills. Classes begin in September and run through May. New students who register and take placement tests can be added to in-progress classes every few weeks.
We offer classes during the day and evening at various locations in Columbia. Classes meet in person or online via Zoom. Times and days of the week are to be determined based on need. For current enrollment details, email Adult English Learner Coordinator, Noah Siela, at Nsiela@cpsk12.org.
