Waltham Family School (WFS) empowers English Language Learner families to be literate, self-sufficient and connected to the greater Waltham Community. Friends of Waltham Family School, Inc. (FWFS) supports Waltham Family School in its mission to provide educational opportunities for families who want to learn English. We prepare children for success in school, empower parents to be partners with school in the education of their children, and strengthen the parents’ skills necessary for parenting, workforce, and community life.

This innovative program is for parents of pre-school aged children, parents with low literacy, low income, minorities and immigrants.
