Helping You Navigate the Citizenship Process

South Piedmont’s Citizenship & Civics classes provide invaluable support to students seeking to become American citizens. Led by a team of knowledgeable and experienced faculty members, these classes will help you prepare for the citizenship test. Our instructors provide clear, up-to-date information, ensuring that students feel confident as they prepare for the citizenship test.

One of the key strengths of South Piedmont’s citizenship program is its small class sizes. This allows for a more personalized learning experience, where each student receives individual attention. With fewer students in each class, the faculty can address specific concerns and tailor lessons to meet the unique needs of each learner, fostering a supportive and encouraging environment.

Education in a Supportive Environment

I would like to sincerely thank the ESOL program and my wonderful teachers, Ms. Debbie and Ms. Amber, for all their support and dedication. They helped me prepare for my citizenship interview and greatly improved my English speaking, reading, and understanding skills.

Because of their patience, encouragement, and excellent teaching, I became more confident in using English and successfully passed my citizenship exam. I am truly grateful for everything they have done for me.

I highly appreciate the ESOL school and all the support they provide to students.
