English as a Second Language (ESL)

Welcome!

Shoreline’s ESL Program offers English classes for English Language Learners living in Washington state. You can take ESL classes with the Transitional Studies program, even if you have not lived in Washington state for one year.

We offer 7 levels of ESL classes to help students reach their English language goals for work, life, and academics. We have classes for beginner speakers, as well as high-level academic English classes that prepare students to enter Shoreline's degree programs and professional-technical programs.

If you have or are applying for non-immigrant status, such as an F-1 or J-1, please see International Education for program options and details.
