Sponsored by the Consulate of Mexico in
Seattle and the Mexican Institute for Adult
Education
Seattle Public Schools, in cooperation with the Consulate of
Mexico in Seattle and the Institute for Adult Education in Mexico,
is offering basic adult literacy and primary and secondary school
classes in Spanish to individuals who would like to continue their
education. Students have the opportunity to acquire skills to
improve their lives, increase their self-confidence, support their
children in school, and provide a foundation for literacy in
English.
About the program
- Classes and materials are free. The Mexican government provides
the materials.
- All instruction and materials are in Spanish.
- Instruction is self-paced, flexible, and supportive to meet the
needs of working and migrant adults.
- Classroom instructors are native speakers of Spanish. They
guide students through the materials, answer questions, and help
students achieve at their own rate.
- Classes are held twice a week in the evening.
- Students who complete the course work and pass the exams can
receive Primary and Secondary Certificates from the Mexican
government.
