English For Parents

Educating Parents for Their Children's Future

Launched in partnership with the Somerville and Medford Public School systems, English For Parents (EFP) aims to provide a crucial service for our immigrant community.
Many immigrants come to this country not for themselves, but for the opportunity this country can provide for their children. To that end, many immigrant parents are finding a significant language barrier between themselves and their children, preventing them from helping them with their homework. The purpose of this program is to break down those barriers and allow the immigrant parents to have the understanding and confidence to engage with their children's schools, such as in PTA meetings or teacher conferences.

Class Schedule

  • Classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
  • Morning classes are held from 9:30am to 12:00pm in-person for both Medford and Somerville.
  • Evening classes are held virtually, with Somerville​ classes at 6:30pm-8:00pm and Medford classes at 7:00pm-8:30pm.

Requirements and Benefits

  • ​English For Parents is only available to those with children enrolled in the Medford or Somerville Public School System​.
  • Those who attend 80% of classes each semester will receive an educational reward.
  • Those in need of support for childcare or transportation can receive financial aid. Please indicate your specific needs during enrollment.
