ELL - English Language Learners

The major objective of our English Language Learners (ELL) Program is to prepare students to function successfully in classrooms where English is the medium of instruction for all subject areas.

ISD offers the perfect opportunity for the establishment of a sheltered ELL program. Parents send their children to ISD to obtain an English language education. Their goal is not to replace their children's native languages, but to add another one, so that they become bilingual. Many parents are themselves bilingual or multilingual, and provide native language instruction for their children either at home or in after school programs. ISD faculty is experienced in working with non-native English background students. A number of faculty and staff are bi- or multi-lingual.
