Nearly 800 immigrants are enrolled, and the numbers have grown every year.
Now 15 instructors work with adult immigrants, up from two 10 years ago. “If they would give me this building, I would fill it,” said Leslie Foster-Davidson, who directs the adult English as a Second Language program. “We have seen a huge increase in the number of students who want classes in citizenship.”"
