EVENING Class will Break for Ramadan Starting February 18!
Our English Classes
Our men’s and women’s ESL classes meet two days each week, for two hours each time. We have a morning class and an evening class at two different locations. Morning class is hosted by New City Fellowship Church downtown, and evening class is at Sunshine Ballpark near Wegmans. See registration details below! If our classes don’t work for you, scroll down for a list of other ESL classes in the area.
Our morning classes and evening classes are at different locations. But registration for both classes has finished. This means that you are now a late registrant. Registering late takes a long time. (This is because when you register, we test you to see what level of class is good for you. But now, all our teachers are busy teaching! So you will have to wait a long time, until someone is ready to test you.) You will also pay $10 extra. This is because we might have to special-order your book. To special-order, we pay extra money for postage.
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 REGISTRATION
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. Morning class is on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10am.
Morning class registration for Fall 2026 will be at 10am on August 17, 18, 19, and 20 at New City Fellowship Church. You can come register any day you like — except for those needing childcare, who should come on August 17, before childcare is full.
EVENING CLASS REGISTRATION
Evening class is at Sunshine Ballpark near Bragg Hill. The address is 1200 Wicklow Drive, Fredericksburg, VA, 22401. For men, evening class is on Mondays and Wednesdays at 6pm. For women, it’s on Mondays and Thursdays at 6pm.
Evening class registration for Fall 2026 will be at 6pm on August 17, 19, and 20 at Sunshine Ballpark. Registration involves paying and placement testing, so that we know which level class is best for you.
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. Sometimes we waive the fees, if a student needs it. Our teachers are volunteers serving because of the love of God, so you are paying for your curriculum (books), not your teacher! We can accept cash only.

So you should bring $60. We can accept cash only.
CHILDCARE
We have volunteers to watch small children at the morning class only. But childcare fills very quickly! This happens every January and every August. To make sure you can study in Fall 2026, people who need childcare should come on the first day of registration, August 17. If you come to register after childcare is full, you will have to wait till January 2027.
We do not have childcare at the evening class. You may not bring any children to 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 at New City Fellowship Church, near Hazel Hill housing downtown. 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 Head Start 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.
