Learn English

Canal Alliance offers English as a Second Language (ESL) classes to help adults gain the language skills they need to work toward their educational and career goals, succeed on the job, and participate as active members of their community. 

Starting in January 2025, we will offer English classes in collaboration with College of Marin (COM). We are very excited about this partnership, which will bring COM English classes to Canal Alliance’s headquarters in San Rafael.

Classes are offered at multiple levels to meet the needs of students with different language skills. Students are placed in classes based on their individual language skill level. To accommodate work and family schedules, classes are offered during in the evenings and on Saturdays.

Our spring semester classes will begin in mid-January 2025, and enrollment will take place in November and December. The classes will be in person, and classes and books are free.
