ESL (English as a second language) is a vital ministry at Leesburg UMC. Our program began in the fall of 2006 and since that time we have served more than 300 students. Our program rests on the shoulders of more than 35 volunteers from the LUMC congregation and the Leesburg or Loudoun County communities.
The Leesburg UMC instructional program is delivered in fall and spring sessions that are 10 weeks long. Classes during each session are held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7 pm to 9 pm in the church at 107 W. Market Street in Leesburg.
Registration
Registration is held before each session. Students' English speaking, reading and comprehension skills are assessed and then students are placed in classes ranging from introduction to English to advanced English conversation.
For the 2012 year, the registration fee is $30 and included textbooks.
