Lexington One Adult ESL uses Cambridge Ventures Leveled book series, additional supporting materials as well as online resources for our course work. All materials and resources used are designed for student success toward increased English language fluency and proficiency. 

Registration takes approximately 1 hour and is by appointment-only. Please do not bring children with you. Registration fee is $60.00 per semester, which includes the enrollment fee and materials fee. 

Students will receive orientation at the beginning of each semester to familiarize them with our school, their materials, and the program and classroom expectations. 

At the beginning of each course, students are given a pre-test to determine their starting classroom level. ALL students must commit to a minimum of 60 hours of classroom instruction. This minimum is the amount of time needed for students to show an increase in their English language proficiency. Between 60–80 hours, students will be post-tested to confirm a skill gain, as well as receive further instruction. 

Students are able to access the on-site computer lab during instruction hours. Students are also able to access technology and the internet for free at public libraries. 

The Center observes the Lexington One School calendar and offers GED prep classes and GED testing at our location. Closings are posted on the school/program announcement board.

Enrollment Criteria:

• Students must be 17 years of age or older.
• English is not the student's first or native language.
• If a student with disabilities receives support that includes an Individualized Education Plan, or IEP, our office will hold an IEP meeting to explore if Adult Education is an appropriate educational setting. Students that are served by special services cannot be accepted into AE without this meeting.
