English Language Department
Welcome to the English Language Department, home to the teachers who provide our multilingual students with opportunities to develop listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills equal to native speakers of English in order to facilitate their entry into the social aspects of the school community, so that they can be successful in school and life. While supporting students in their acquisition of the English language, particular attention is paid to the strengths that students bring to the table when they are able to speak multiple languages.
