JEANNETTE
ENGLISH PROGRAM
When Jeannette Araus signed up for classes at the Latino Academy, she was looking for a way in—to work, to stability, to something she could build on.
The courses she took—English and early childhood education—offered more than information. They offered a route. The curriculum was relevant, the teachers knew what they were doing, and the process led somewhere. That mattered.
“These courses helped me prepare to work,” she says. “They gave me what I needed, and I didn’t have to pay for something I couldn’t afford.”
The learning environment made a difference too. It wasn’t just professional—it was personal. Instructors checked in. Staff stayed involved. Jeannette felt seen and supported, not just enrolled.
Now, she shares what she’s learned freely. She tells friends, family members, and anyone else who’s stuck in the in-between. “Come take the classes,” she says. “You’ll find something here that can really help you move.”
