The Esperanza Academic Center
at Jubilee House is a learning environment designed to open doors to further education or to advancement in the workplace for adults who have earned a high school diploma or GED. Through workshops in grammar, writing and math, students increase their proficiency in the skills needed to pursue college studies and/or to improve their employment opportunities. Many students who have completed ESOL continue with Esperanza as the next step to achieving their goals. Classes are offered on Fridays and Saturdays to accommodate the schedules of the students, many of whom are working adults.
