LAS CASAS is an educational program offering English instruction to adults in the Fruitvale District of Oakland.
​
Schedule
Classes are held Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings from 7-8:30 p.m.
We offer five levels of instruction from Introduction through Intermediate. We follow a school calendar, beginning in September and ending in May.
Enrollment
While our main registration happens at the start of Fall and Spring semesters, we offer rolling enrollment. We hold assessment nights throughout the school year for those who didn’t get in at the start of the semester. It is possible to enroll in classes following a placement test, and pending space available.
To apply for classes, students must attend an Assessment Night. To see our upcoming schedule for Assessment and Registration, click here.

New Students
To register for classes with Las Casas, students must complete an oral and written Assessment to determine their class level. Once a student has been assessed they are placed in one of five class levels. When space is available, we will invite the student to come and register.
Orientation and registration is required for all new students before starting class (text or email us for the next Assessment and Orientation dates) The registration fee varies by semester - the Fall semester is $30 and the Spring semester is $40. The registration fees include the textbook and all classroom materials.
Returning Students
Students continuing from the prior semester with good attendance may automatically register for classes at a Registration night.
