The English Language Education program serves English learners at all levels of language proficiency. English learners bring unique strengths and an array of linguistic and cultural diversity to our school.
Students identified as English learners are provided direct English language instruction in addition to participating in the general education curriculum. Students at the Newcomer or Beginner levels take their four core academic courses—English, Social Studies, Math, and Science—within the ELL program. English language courses integrate skills and concepts of the mainstream curriculum to enable students to develop both language proficiency and academic skills and knowledge.
We encourage students to meet and interact with their peers in general education classes and school clubs and activities in order to develop social language.
