The Palo Alto Adult School ESL program offers many classes to help you meet your English learning goals. We offer a range of English classes from Literacy to Advanced levels at no charge. To enter our FREE classes, new students must register for a placement test. Our spring 2026 ESL registration is full and closed. We will resume placement testing in August 2026 for the fall 2026 session. Please check with us in mid-July for the exact testing dates.
The need for citizenship classes was one of the fundamental reasons for the original establishment of adult schools. Palo Alto Adult School continues to offer this program as community members seek citizenship and voting rights.
