MHP offers ESOL classes for residents of its affordable housing developments through its Community Life Programs. There is a one-time fee of $25 for the book. The program accommodates a maximum of 50 students per semester, and employs a standards-based curriculum emphasizing language proficiency. MHP developed the curriculum in coordination with the Montgomery Coalition of Adult English Literacy, and its overarching goal is that students will use English to communicate and demonstrate cultural understanding.
