Adult Basic Education

Welcome to the Massasoit Community College

Adult Basic Education Program

The Adult Basic Education Program (ABE) at Massasoit Community College offers adult learners English as a Second Language (ESOL) classes, and a Transition to Community College Program, to further adult learners educational and careers goals at no cost to the students.

The Massasoit Community ESOL Program offers English language classes for students whose first language is not English. Beginner to advanced levels are offered in a hybrid model on the Canton Campus and in-person on the Brockton campus throughout the school year.

The Transition to Community College Program, held on the Brockton campus, gives adult learners the opportunity to gain the necessary academic skills to enter a college degree or certificate program at Massasoit.

The Massasoit Community ESOL Program and the Transition to Community College Program are funded by grants from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and are FREE to all who meet the eligibility requirements.

ABE Massasoit ESOL Free English Classes

Due to high demand, the Massasoit ESOL program uses a lottery system to select students for available seats in our FREE English classes. The lottery is conducted in August for the Fall semester, and if seats are available for the Spring semester, a second lottery will be conducted in December.

Currently, we do not anticipate any openings for the Spring Semester. We will take registrations for the waiting list beginning on November 1st. If you wish to register for this list, you may click on the link below. You will be contacted to come in for a placement test.

Taking this DOES NOT mean you have been selected, it simply means you are on the lottery list for the Fall 2025 semester.
