Fairfax UMC offers English as a Second Language (ESL) classes for beginner and intermediate-level English language learners throughout the year. We also offer a Citizenship Class to prepare students for the U.S. Citizenship test.

The Fall 2023 ESL session begins Wednesday, September 13, and ends on November 15. Classes are held on Wednesday evenings at 7:00–9:00pm. This 10-week class session costs $30, which covers class materials and a book for students to keep. These classes are for adults ages 18 and over; child care is not provided.

To pre-register for class and sign up for an in-person registration slot, fill out the ESL Registration Form. If you have questions, contact the ESL coordinator, Laura Zotian, by email at eslatfairfaxumc@gmail.com or by phone at 703-463-7563. For a full list of English classes offered at churches in the area, visit the ESL and Immigrant Ministries site.
