NEW BRUNSWICK: Fredy Reyes, 19, trims hair all day, while Alberto Gonzalez, 18, flips fast-food burgers, but when they finish their shifts, they start their studies in a class that is rarely found in school systems across the nation.


They are among the teens taking evening courses four days a week in the Newcomer Center for Secondary Age English Language Learners, a program within the Bilingual Newcomer Program in New Brunswick.

Newcomer instructors teach English to students who are also behind academically by at least two years in their native language. New Brunswick holds three similar classes during the school day, but the off-hours program is for students such as Fredy and Alberto, who work long hours during the day and are old enough to drop out of school but chose not to.
