Free ESOL Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Classes

Free ESOL Classes offered through Adult Education at Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ are funded by a grant from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (MA DESE). 

The Bristol Adult Education ESOL Information Form will re-open on April 1, 2025.

Due to the high demand for free English classes and the limited number of vacancies, students are chosen to participate in through a lottery drawing held two times each year (July and December).
