Literacy Services
UBC ministers to the community on Tuesday nights (Sept. - May) at 7:00
p.m. by providing:
 | English as a Second Language Classes |
| Adult Reading and Writing Classes |
| Citizenship Classes |
| Fun Bible Study for Children of students (Already proficient in English) |
The literacy classes at University Baptist Church are subsidized by
the church, so students are only required to pay a $15 charge for
materials. Childcare is provided. Students learning English as a second language come from many
different countries. Students in the 1999-2007 classes came from the
following countries:
| Cambodia |
| Vietnam |
| Japan |
| China |
| Korea |
| Czechoslovakia |
| and many others |
They attend class from 7 to 9 p.m., with a 20 minute snack break
at 8 p.m. Churches in the area take turns providing refreshments
throughout the school year. Students also have a chance to practice
their English skills at a Christmas party (pot luck with emphasis on
ethnic foods from their own countries) and an End of School Party in
May. The school observes Spring Break in March, and Summer vacation.
