Our English Classes
We are opening a second class, in the evenings, at a different location! See below for details about how to register for the morning or the evening class. You must come in-person to register.
Our men’s and women’s ESL classes meet two days each week, for two hours each time. Most levels usually fill during registration, and late registration becomes impossible for most levels. If our class doesn’t work for you, scroll down for a list of other ESL classes in the area.
A new organization is also opening a morning class for beginners only, with men and women mixed together, in South Stafford. See below for details. Their last registration is coming up very soon.
REGISTRATION
We are opening a second class, in the evenings, at a different location! See below for details about how to register for the morning or the evening class. You must come in-person to register.
MORNING CLASS
Morning class registration will continue from 10-11am on January 13 and January 15. Morning class meets at New City Fellowship Church. The address is 200 Prince Edward Street, Fredericksburg, VA, 22401. See below to know where to park at New City Fellowship Church.
EVENING CLASS
Evening class registration will be from 6:30-7:30pm on January 12, 14, and 16. Evening classes and evening registrations will be at Sunshine Ballpark at 1200 Wicklow Drive, Fredericksburg, VA, 22401. Sunshine Ballpark is near Wegmans and Bragg Hill townhomes.
COST
The cost (fees) for a semester is $50. If you don’t have $50, come to registration anyway and talk to us about your situation. Our teachers are volunteers, so you are paying for your curriculum (books), not your teacher! Please bring your fees to registration day. We can accept cash only.
CHILDCARE
We have a space and volunteers to watch small children at the morning class, but the children’s program becomes full very quickly. After the childcare becomes full, people wanting to enroll with small children will be placed on a waitlist so they can begin studying later. We do not have childcare at the evening class. You may not bring any children to the evening class.
DETAILS
For the comfort of our students, our classes are separated by gender.
We have many different levels at our morning class (about 10 levels for women), but our evening class is smaller. This means that students with a wider variety of abilities need to study together in the evening.
We are a Christian organization, so we include a story each day from the Holy Bible (Taurat, Zabur or Injil-e Sharif) in our classes. Most are stories Catholics and Muslims usually already know. Many are told in both the Holy Bible and Qur’an.
While we welcome students from all linguistic backgrounds, historically more than 90% of our students have spoken Dari or Pashto.
PARKING at NEW CITY FELLOWSHIP: Our morning classes meet downtown at New City Fellowship Church, near Hazel Hill housing. The address is 200 Prince Edward Street, Fredericksburg, VA, 22401. Don’t park on the street; the police might give you a ticket! The parking lot is behind the church building. One entrance is on Dunmore Street/ Gunnery Road near the HeadStart preschool (Walker-Grant Center). To enter the parking lot, drive west on Dunmore Street (toward the Walker-Grant Center and preschool) to the intersection of Dunmore Street and Ferdinand Street. Look for the open yellow gate on your right side. At the gate, turn right into the parking lot. For details, visit our parking page.
