Nurturing new English Learners

The goal of our ESL program is to help learners of the English language develop the skills they need to be proficient and confident with everyday English. From there, students gain proficiency in academic English, allowing them to integrate into the mainstream school program alongside their same-aged peers.

English language learners must essentially catch up with a moving target, since their peers are not standing still in their own learning of language and concepts. Thus, our ESL program is a combination of class time with peers and separate ESL instruction—with our aim being for ESL students to complete the integration into regular classes as soon as possible.

We offer a range of ESL programs from the Junior level through a student's Senior years. Students are taught by qualified ESL instructors, as well as teachers who are trained to be aware of, and sensitive to, the challenges and needs of students who are learning the language.
