CROSSROADS ministry offers internationals in the Capital District the chance to learn more about American language, culture and friendships. As you stand at a new crossroads in your life, we are here to serve you. Primarily, CROSSROADS offers Conversational English classes in different venues. All English classes are taught by caring volunteer teachers from the community. The school year is divided into two terms: Fall and Winter/Spring. Class sizes are usually small, most having fewer than 10 students. Maximum class size is 15 students.
Our students come from all over the globe. Some are international students and scholars or family members, others are immigrants and refugees. Everyone is welcome.
