Riverside Language Program

Free English Classes

Free English Classes in New York - Riverside Language ProgramThe Riverside Language Program offers free classes in English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) to immigrants and refugees from all over the world who are currently living in New York City.

Our intensive ESL classes (5 hours a day) encourage adults to make rapid progress in English, allowing them to participate more fully in American life in the shortest possible time.

Our free part-time ESL English meet at public libraries in Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island. These classes meet twice a week or on Saturdays. We also serve as a site for professional development and training.

The Riverside Language Program has been commended by New York State as a model program for ESOL and profiled in The New York Times.
