Our First Day of Class

The first class taught at DePorres P.L.A.C.E.  commenced on May 20, 1997, beginning a tradition of offering classes in basic adult literacy (reading and writing) and English for speakers of other languages (ESOL).

Students meet with volunteer tutors once or twice a week in a one-on-one or small group class environment. Sometimes, there’s dancing 🙂

 

OUR Reputation

DePorres Place is a highly regarded adult literacy program in Palm Beach County and was honored with the 2009 Excellence in Education Award by the Florida Literacy Coalition as “an organization demonstrating achievement, innovation, leadership and organizational excellence.”

In 2002, as the population of Palm Beach County became more diverse, DePorres P.L.A.C.E. developed a program of conversational English for speakers of other languages (ESOL) for adults who wanted to learn to speak English. 

Currently, DePorres P.L.A.C.E. is a member of the Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County, the Florida Literacy Coalition and ProLiteracy America.
