NACE is proud to offer Beginner Khmer to our community this spring with Daveth Cheth, owner of Khmer Identity, a teaching service that offers Khmer classes for adults.

This 8-week class will run from April 2nd to May 28th (with no class during April break) from 6-7:30pm, and will pay special attention to reading and writing, culture, and history.  While Daveth will be teaching remotely, and class can be taken at home, we encourage students to come to campus to learn together in our classroom.  

This class is free to our community through the generosity of Kennebunk Savings Bank.
