CLC grads 2023

Do you want to prepare for college while earning college credits? The Community Learning Center’s Bridge to College Program prepares adult learners to succeed in college-level courses. Applications are now being accepted for the 2024-25 program.

As a Bridge to College student, you will:

  • Improve your reading, writing, and math skills
  • Develop your computer and study skills
  • Earn free college credits for Bunker Hill Community College English courses
  • Get help applying for college, financial aid, and scholarships

Bridge to College students must have a high school diploma or high school equivalency degree to be eligible for the program. The program will run from September 2024 – June 2025. Classes meet weekly on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6:15 – 9:15 p.m. at the Community Learning Center in Central Square. There are also group advising sessions once a month on Thursdays.

"The Bridge to College program made me realize ... that I was confident and ready enough to go back to school,” says program graduate Luis Urbina Henriquez. “My college writing class [during the program] was key for me to decide that I was prepared to take some more intensive courses. The program gave me the information and the tools I needed to design my own journey from the Bridge to College program to Bunker Hill Community College, and then to [a four-year college].”
