English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)

ESOL services help students from other language backgrounds develop English language skills for success in school and beyond. Certified ESOL teachers offer support in English through academic subjects. Cross-cultural understanding is another important goal of all ESOL instruction.
Students develop English skills through specialized instruction by ESOL teachers in collaboration with the rest of their educational program, either as a separate class or within the classroom. ESOL serves students in every school in the District and is an integral component of the Bilingual and LEAP programs at all grade levels, K-12.
