Who We Are
The Round Rock Public Library’s ESL program is volunteer-led. Classes are organized into three sessions per year: Fall (Sept. – Dec.); Spring (Jan. – May); and Summer (June – Aug.). Classes are limited to 1 class per person. Each class is limited to 18 participants.
How it Works
Registration for the year opens in August. Once classes are full, a wait list is created. Students who are able to get into a class in the Fall session will automatically be enrolled in the Spring and Summer sessions (unless they miss 2 classes in a row without notifying the instructor). At the beginning of the Spring and Summer sessions, any open spots are filled with people who are on the wait list.
Registration Instructions for Fall 2025
