English Learner Community

Grade(s): 9-12

ELC is designed for the older English Learner (EL) students (ages 16-21) who would benefit most from a small and structured academic environment, integrated with a career and technical component. Students who are selected for ELC enroll in a two-period integrated block of language instruction in reading, writing and grammar. They also take three additional credits in math, science, and social studies. Finally, students enroll in a two-period Career & Technical Education (CTE) elective class at the Career Center. Students who attend the program benefit by working toward their high school diplomas while obtaining certifications or licenses in their selected professional areas, and/or receiving college credits for their technical classes.

Prerequisite(s): Admission to the English Learner Community (ELC) is made by the Program’s Coordinator
