Kelly Elementary School - 9030 SE Cooper Street Portland, OR 97266 Cristina or Kristine, Kelly SUN Extended Day Coordinator Last Updated 2/25/13 Sunset Presbeterian Six Adult Class Levels, registration fee is $10, books are $25 and can be reused. Six (6) class levels from Basic to advanced. Typical Term: 8 weeks
Spring term starts April 9th at 9:00am and meets every Saturday until May 28th.
ESL means English for Speakers of other Languages – At Sunset, this is an outreach service for families who need help. Improving English language skills is the gateway to better jobs, housing and education.
We serve adult students learning English and their children. English skills range from absolute beginner to intermediate ability. Most of our students are immigrants in the local area. More than a dozen languages are represented by Sunset ESL students.
Sunset's ESL program helps people meet their immediate, physical needs, this is accomplished by language learning while experiencing Christ’s love and compassion. When students have enough food to eat, a decent home to live in, and a livelihood with means to survive, then they can seek to fulfill their spiritual needs as well.
