The
Night School Program at the Ford serves
approximately 250 adults (both parents and
outside community members).
The program operates
2 evenings a week, Monday and Tuesday and
regularly offers 4 classes; three levels of
English as a second language (ESL 1, 2, and 3)
and a graduate equivalency diploma (GED) course
for adults to complete high school. Other
classes such as personal financial management,
parenting, and college level English classes are
offered periodically as needs arise and funding
permits.
Seven classrooms,
library, a computer lab and a homework help/nightcare
area are used for the evening school.
We
know that our Night School is a success. Since
1992, the number of students enrolled has grown
each year, exceeding our classroom and funding
capabilities.
Students walk,
drive, or take public transportation (bus,
train).
Due to the
popularity of this program, it is now broadcast
by Comcast across the City of Lynn.
Our Night
School also provides homework help and night care for the
children of our adult learners.
