English as a Second Language (ESL)
The ESL program helps adults whose first language is not English to improve their English speaking, reading, and writing skills.  Students will have opportunities to gain computer skills, work readiness skills, enroll in college, and prepare for career training or employment opportunities. Students may also choose to prepare for the US citizenship test.

Our Adult Education Programming, English as a Second Language and High School Equivalency will be offered through an online learning environment and in-person classes each semester. Students that wish to enroll should be prepared with reliable internet services as well as a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer.

Hybrid ESL & HSE Courses 
Hybrid courses for High School Equivalency and English as a Second Language are now available at our RCSJ Gloucester Campus, providing students with more technical skills and adding another dimension to their educational experience. Students will be expected to participate in online lessons, activities, assignments, and assessments. We look forward to meeting and exceeding your educational needs.

These courses are funded by the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
