Welcome to ESL at atonement
What is ESL?
ESL stands for English as a Second Language. Our program offers adults whose first language is not English a space to get assistance in learning English. We offer three levels of English support. These levels vary with our incoming group of students so we are best supporting their needs.
More information about our program
Our classes are for adults, but we encourage families to come. We have volunteers who will provide homework assistance, snack, and language support while parents are learning. We provide childcare to children Infant - High School.

We have two semesters - a fall and a spring semester. Students are enrolled in both semesters for the year.
Adults can bring something to write with, but nothing is required.
If children have homework, we encourage them to bring it all. We have people who can help with all areas. Computers, if needed, have a space to be safely stored when not being used. Besides homework, children don't need to bring anything else with them.
