Support our mission by contributing a donation.

Why give?

We are a nonprofit organization that strives to help our local students assimilate seamlessly into our community. We hope to teach as many students as possible. Don’t just take our word for it. Watch this video to let our students speak for themselves!

Where does my money go?

The English Center is a nonprofit charitable organization. All money received from grants, donations, and tuition goes directly to pay for the salaries of our teachers and our staff, as well as for technology and supplies.

Thanks to our donors over the years!
