English Language Classes
Adults wishing to develop their English language fluency will find a community of learners working toward the same goal in this weekly class. Many topics will be explored, from banking to health care!  Students can expect an opportunity to practice English through listening, speaking, reading, and writing, including an integrated vocabulary component to help learners build on their current English Vocabulary.

GED (General Equivalency Diploma)

Bridge Classes (for adult students enrolled in college classes)

Currently classes are held at the middle school in Little Falls on Tuesdays.  Because Pierz is not a site for in-house classes, there may be other options that can work for the individual such as hybrid classes that include distance learning (home internet is required for this option.)
