The Perth Amboy Adult High School offers a comprehensive program of Accredited High School, Adult Basic Education, English as a Second Language, Citizenship, adult literacy and enrichment courses to approximately 3,000 adults each year. Classes are available during the day and evening with a large minority population, including a significant and growing number of Spanish-speaking immigrants.
The English as a Second Language (ESL) Program consists of a full daily program of classes in Conversation, Reading, Writing, Grammar and Job Skills. Students are scheduled for these classes based on intake interviews and placement tests to determine needs. Students involved in the Alternate Work Experience Program, designed to facilitate transition from welfare to work, attend classes for part of the day and report to work assignments for the rest of the day.
An important goal of the program is to prepare students to enter the job market. Of course, the primary objective for students in the ESL Program is to develop their English language proficiency for general communication in social and vocational contexts. Classroom instruction focuses on the functional use of Englsish in natural and authentic situations. Students also are scheduled for individual assitance in resume and job search strategies. The One Stop Career Center, housed in the Adult School, is available to students and to the community at large for this purpose.
