Classes meet once or twice per week and are tailored  to meet the individual needs of students. Hours are flexible to accommodate student work schedules.  

Citizenship Classes 

Citizenship classes prepare students for their Naturalization interview. Classes  focus on interview skills, U.S history and government and basic English reading and writing.  

English for Speakers of Other Languages Classes 

BIC offers Beginning ESOL classes for those students who want to apply for citizenship, but have little or no English skills. Classes focus on basic grammar and vocabulary development, conversational skills, alphabet and numeracy and  responding to personal questions.
