BCTC Adult Education

🌍 Building a New Life in the U.S.? We're Here to Help. 🌍

Starting over in a new country comes with real challenges — and learning English shouldn't be one more barrier standing in your way. BCTC @ Operation Read, located in the basement of the Carnegie Center for Literacy & Learning in downtown Lexington, works to support refugees, parolees, SIV holders, and others navigating this journey with FREE English classes through BCTC Adult Education's Workplace English Language Development Program (WELD).

We understand that resettlement comes with unique obstacles, which is why we offer more than just classes:

🚗 Transportation assistance may be provided — so students can get to class with no hassle.
👶 Childcare assistance may be available — so students can focus on learning.
📖 All classes, books, and materials are 100% FREE — no cost, no catch.
🎯 6 levels of instruction, Literacy through Advanced, to meet you where you are.
🕐 Morning classes, Monday–Thursday, to fit into your new routine.

Whether you're preparing for a job, supporting your family, or simply want to feel more confident communicating in your new community, we're here to walk this path with you.

📞 Take the first step — schedule your intake assessment today! Call 859-246-6611 or email [email protected]

You've already shown incredible strength to get here. Let us help you take the next step. 💪🌟

🎉 Congratulations to our June Progress Challenge Winner! 🎉

We're excited to announce that Michael, a GED student, won the drawing for a $100 Visa gift card! 💳
