Professor Rassias Honored by the Peace Corps
Our Community Programs developed as a response to a demand in the Upper Valley Area for language classes. Community Programs have been offered through the Rassias Center of Dartmouth College since the late 1980's.
For Spring 2012, we are offering classes in English as a Second Language, French, Italian and Spanish.
Specific class times and structure can vary depending on the needs of the instructor. Class generally meets twice a week for two hours at a time. During the first hour, a Master Teacher instructs students. During the final hour, the class is split into smaller sections as needed and Assistant Teachers trained in the Rassias Method® reinforce the skills worked on in the master class. Most classes run for eight weeks.
Note: A $50.00 non-refundable enrollment fee is due with the application to hold a place on the class roster. The remainder of the course fee is due on the first day of class.
Textbooks are not included in the cost of the tuition, but may be available for purchase at Wheelock Books in Hanover (603 643-6567). Below, you will find a complete list of the textbooks used in each course. Please do not buy textbooks until we confirm the class.
Note: If you have an earlier edition, please call us to find out if it may be appropriate to use for the course.
Please note: Discount participation limited to ONE per person.
Notice to Dartmouth College employees who are applying to Human Resources/Training and Development for Tuition Reimbursement: Please contact the Rassias Center directly, prior to enrolling, for information on course requirements.
All classes are based on a minimum enrollment requirement of six (6) students or more. The Rassias Center reserves the right to cancel classes in which this requirement is not met. If the specific level/language that you have enrolled for is canceled, we will notify you by Tuesday, March 27 using the form of communication indicated on the "Preferred method of contact" section of the enrollment form. In this instance, the full amount of tuition will be refunded including the $50 enrollment fee.
Please contact us for more information.
If you have an interest in a language that we are not offering, please contact our office as this information is helpful to us when we decide what languages to offer.
