English Classes
In partnership with The Welcome Project in Somerville, the SPS Somerville Family Learning Collaborative (SFLC) also offers English language courses to adults throughout the year. Classes are held in the mornings, evening, and Saturdays at beginner, advanced beginner, and intermediate levels. They are an opportunity to practice speaking English and learn how to engage with your child's teachers and education. To register, call the SFLC at 617-625-6600 x3706.
