English Language Learner Program

The English Language Learner Program provides course work for English Language Learners (ELLs). The program offers a continuum of courses that help ELLs become both competent in English and academically proficient in core content areas. Placement along the continuum is based on standardized assessments, local assessments, classroom content work, teacher input, parental input, and other factors. The goal of the program is for ELLs to become proficient in English, with emphasis on the academic, social, and cultural settings.
