ESL at Our School

     In our school, English as a Second Language (ESL) classes are taught by three

ESL teachers.  Students are co-taught by these teachers alongwith one bilingual

mentor.  Beginner level ESL students at our school receive a minimum of 1 hour of

ESL instruction daily.  English Language Learners (ELLS) who are intermediate

level or above receive at least thirty minutes of ESL instruction per day.  ESL classes
at our school are focused on students achieving English language proficiency in the

areas of phonics, fluency, grammar, reading comprehension, listening, speaking,

and writing. The following webpages are arranged by Enlgish Proficiency levels. 

Please visit the pages that correspond to your child's English Proficiency

Level.
