Supports for Students English Language Learners (ELL)

English Language Learners (ELL)

​About one-quarter of our students are identified as English Language Learners (ELLs). Our schools offer many different kinds of programming and supports to assist learners to develop English skills while also advancing academically.

L.E.A.D. (Literacy, English and Academic Development) program  

We offer specialized programming for English Language Learners who face additional challenges as a result of the circumstances of their migration (often from war-torn regions) and their lack of opportunity for prior schooling.

This  program is in nine locations and offers intensive language instruction and support.

Additional Supports 

Programming for English Language Learners is based on their ESL coding and their language assessment which results in a benchmark level. 

There are also other services in the CBE which provide help and support for immigrant families. These include:
