English Language Learners (ELL)

At the time of enrollment, students whose home language survey indicates their primary language to be other than English are referred to the ELL office. Students are evaluated and placed with tutors who assist with language development and support for the regular classroom requirements.

The goal of the program is to help students develop English language proficiency and adapt culturally to their new surroundings. Each year, testing determines the level of assistance and areas of support needed for success.
