| The Bilingual Program
(PK-5) is a full-time instructional program in which both the students'
home language and English are used for instruction. Students study the
same curriculum as the English-speaking students. The only difference is
that both languages are used for instruction. The primary goal of bilingual
education is to enable students of limited English proficiency to become
competent in the English language and to have an equal opportunity to master
grade level essential elements using their first language while they are
acquiring English. |
| ESOL (English
for Speakers of Other Languages) is an intensive program designed
to develop proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and
writing in the English language. All instruction is in English.
The goal of the ESOL program is to teach the students English
so that they will be academically successful in all classes. |
