Why Choose an Online Class?
Looking for a flexible way to build your reading, writing, or math skills? Our online literacy programs for adults let you learn from home, without giving up the support and structure of a classroom.
Whether you’re working, caring for family, or simply prefer to stay home, online learning could be the right fit for you. Classes are live, interactive, and led by our experienced teachers. You’ll be part of a small, welcoming group that learns together, just like in person.
- Join from anywhere with good internet access
- Learn at home if transportation or childcare is a challenge
- Stick to a routine with scheduled sessions and a clear plan
- Get one-on-one help when you need it
We know that everyone’s situation is different. Our staff will talk with you about your goals and help you find the right class, at the right time and in the right place, whether that’s online or in person.

Behind the scenes:
Starting Strong with Online Learning
These online adult literacy programs open doors: to better communication, safer healthcare navigation, employment opportunities, and staying in touch with family. Every new skill adds to their confidence and independence.
Your personal financial support helps more adults access literacy programs online.
At The Literacy Project, we know that taking a class online can be a powerful first step. For many adults, enrolling in an online literacy course is more than a learning decision – it’s a way to stay connected, take control of daily life, and build a brighter future.
You can help someone begin their online learning journey.
Our online adult literacy classes are small, welcoming, and built around real-life needs. Students might be learning how to write an email, join a video call, read instructions on a website, or submit an assignment through an online platform. We teach the skills that matter most – in a format that works for them.
Your organization can help expand access to technology and connectivity.
With encouragement from volunteer tutors and caring instructors, students build digital confidence and essential literacy skills – one step at a time. Could you help someone feel more confident learning online?
Help us celebrate their online learning victories.
Together, we can make sure everyone has a chance to build their skills – no matter where they are learning from.
