The scholarship recipients join international students in concentrated, full-time learning to significantly improve their English skills in a much shorter period of time.

We appreciate Dean’s generosity and his social activism both locally and around the world! Please, drink Dean’s Beans organic, fair trade and delicious coffee!

 

The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, United Way of Hampshire County, Baystate Health, and Health New England provide much of the funding for this program. We also thank the many generous local businesses and individual donors who make the classes possible.
