English Language Learner Classes

Program Overview

Non-English speakers in the Highlands-Cashiers community are able to receive a free education in language and literacy through a partnership between the International Friendship Center and the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd in Cashiers. The program provides three instructional levels to fulfill the needs of all students. This program also includes dinner and childcare. These classes are a great way to connect with other English Learners in the local community.
