Our focus in the ESL Program is to address the needs of English Language Learners (ELs), whose first language is a language other than English. We strive to ensure that our student population, which includes a rich diversity in cultures from around the Pacific islands and abroad, attain proficiency in English and meet academic and content standards that all students are expected to meet. In the ESL class, the ELs become active learners of meaning and in making connections and transitions among ideas and elements.
