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

materials, answer questions, and help students achieve at their own
rate.

twice a week in the evening.

the course work and pass the exams can receive Primary and
Secondary Certificates from the Mexican government.
