Program Overview

Trident Literacy Association helps adults in Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties improve their English and build skills for a better future.

Our English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program offers six levels of classes, from beginner to advanced, so students can learn at their own pace. We also offer pronunciation and conversation classes to help students speak more clearly and feel confident using English at work and in the community.

For students who already speak English well and want to continue their education, we offer TOEFL and GED Preparation for English Language Learners. These classes help students earn a high school credential or prepare for college and job training programs.

Through our Literacy Career Center, students can explore careers, build job skills, and get help finding better employment.

Classes are held at our Rivers Avenue learning center and online. Anyone age 17 or older can attend. We welcome adult learners from all backgrounds and countries, and volunteers are always needed to support our mission of helping adults reach their goals.
