PJC Announces GED and ESL Classes

 

from PJC

 

Paris Junior College Adult Education and Family Literacy 
will hold intensive GED (General Educational Development) and ESL 
(English as a Second Language) programs during the spring semester, 
according to Director Louisa Kessel.

             The eight-week class sessions begin the week of Jan. 19 
and again on March 22, (except where otherwise noted on the class 
schedule). Students should pay close attention to the alterative class 
stated dates for new students versus returning students in some 
locations.

             Students select the class day, time and location of the 
course they would like to attend and come to that class at the time 
and location stated in the schedule.

 

 

 

 

             GED and ESL classes are offered at no cost. However, 
participation and a commitment to attend each class day are essential 
to help students accomplish their learning goals.

             Sixteen-year-olds must provide a copy of the court order 
stating that they are required to attend Adult Education (GED) classes 
offered through Paris Junior College. Seventeen-year-olds must provide 
an official withdrawal from high school for class admission. Students 
must bring these documents to the first class, or they will not gain 
entry into the program.

             Paris campus day classes meet from 8:30-11:30 a.m. each 
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in the Rheudasil Learning Center on 
the PJC campus. New students begin Jan. 19 or March 23. Returning 
students begin Jan. 26 or March 23.

             Night classes meet from 5:30-8:30 p.m. each Tuesday, 
Wednesday and Thursday. New students begin Jan. 19 or March 23. 
Returning students begin Jan. 26 or March 23.

             English as a Second Language/Citizenship classes meet 
from 6-9 p.m. each Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. New and returning 
students begin Jan. 19 or March 22. ESL day classes meet from 9 a.m. 
to noon, Monday through Wednesday, at Justiss Elementary School with 
childcare provided. New and returning students begin Jan. 25 or March 
22.

             GED classes will be held in Cooper at the First Baptist 
Church from 5:30-8:30 p.m. each Monday and Thursday. New and returning 
students begin Jan. 25.

GED classes are also available in Sulphur Springs and ESL classes are 
available at Como-Pickton High School.
