Our Programs
English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)
English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) is a comprehensive program which provides instruction to improve the English language proficiency of students at all levels. ESOL instruction integrates instructional techniques for teaching English as a Second Language in accordance with the curriculum standards requirements. The curriculum provides an equal amount of instruction, scope and sequence as that of the mainstream education students. The students considered for these classes function at different levels of English, come from diverse backgrounds and may speak various native languages. Our teachers facilitate our students through the use of ESOL strategies, and accommodations in order to help them meet their instructional needs in a comprehensible manner.
Dual Language Program
Our Dual Language Program promotes bilingualism and biliteracy by integrating native English speakers and English learners in the same classroom. Students receive instruction in both English and a partner language, fostering a rich, multicultural learning experience.
World Languages Program
Our World Languages Program offers students the opportunity to learn new languages and explore different cultures. We provide courses in various languages, helping students become global citizens with a deep appreciation for linguistic diversity.
Translation Services
We offer professional translation services to support our multilingual community. Whether you need documents translated or interpretation services, our team is here to help bridge language barriers and ensure clear communication.
We invite you to explore our programs and discover how we can support your linguistic and academic journey. Together, we can create a vibrant, multilingual community where every student has the opportunity to succeed.
