If you want to go to the Main Campus:

1. Call (650) 558 - 2128 for an appointment. Tell them you are a new student.

Or

2. Visit the Smart Center (the big red building) at the Adult School to register.


You can register:

Monday through Friday 8:30 am - 12 pm
Monday through Thursday 6:15 - 8:15 pm


When you visit the doctor or the dentist, you must make an appointment.

You must make an appointment if you want to visit Distance Learning, also.

After you register in the Smart Center (the big red building), you will walk over to Room 28 and make an appointment for your first visit.


If you want to go to the other locations, just go there when they are open.

The teacher will help you register and help you get started.


So what are you waiting for?

Come and start learning English today!

What is Distance Learning? And How Does It Work?

Distance Learning is a great way to study English at home.

Some people cannot come to ESL classes at the Adult School because they are busy, working a lot, taking care of children or older parents, or having health problems.

Distance Learning is a wonderful help for these people.

Other people can come to class but want to learn more English faster!

Distance Learning is a wonderful help for these people also. It is extra help, extra time with a teacher, extra learning.

How does it work?

You borrow a dvd or video and homework. You watch the program and do the homework.

You practice, practice, practice!

You meet with your teacher. The teacher corrects your work and helps you improve your English speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

Your teacher gives you a new dvd or video and new homework.

You make an appointment to return.

Then you go home and watch the new dvd or video and do the new homework and practice, practice, practice again!

Then you come to your appointment and meet with your teacher and...

Repeat!
Repeat!
Repeat!

As the old saying goes, "Practice makes perfect."

What does that mean?

When do you something many times, you get better at it!
