ESL is taught one day per week in the elementary classroom and, as the need arises; individual students may attend smaller ESL classes more frequently. Classes focus on the four major areas of language acquisition: reading, writing, listening and speaking. Students will progress through grammar, punctuation, vocabulary using a variety of evaluation techniques. In secondary school, and based on the entrance exam results, new students may have ESL classes during a portion of their regularly scheduled English and History periods. The main objective of this program is to provide support for the intensity of a bilingual program and allow for integration into the regular academic program.
