English Language Development Courses

English as a Second Language is offered to all students whose first language is not English and who qualify as having limited English proficiency on the WIDA Access. The English language development curriculum focuses on listening, speaking, reading and writing to prepare students for high school level courses while acquiring the language. Cross cultural concepts and study skills needed to make a smooth transition in the regular classroom setting are also stressed.
