Our History

One of the greatest assets and opportunities for the cities of Lynn and Boston is the wonderful diversity of their population. This same asset can turn into a challenge and a threat if it is not valued, fostered and developed. Education continues to be the key to successful integration and to create a vibrant and prosperous community.
Thousands of new Americans choose Lynn and Boston as their place to realize their American dream, the integration process and the barriers new Americans face have never been easy, however education is definitely the key to successfully become an active member of society and exercise good citizenship.
According to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education the combined waitlist for adult basic education and ESOL classes is over 18,000 people who are waiting to participate and improve their language proficiency as well as other key skills and areas of basic education and citizenship. 38% of those on a waitlist are males and 62% are females (DESE). Most of the demand comes from urban areas such as Lynn, Boston, Lawrence, Lowell.
