English Learner (EL)
English Learner (EL) is a program for adults seeking to improve their English language communication skills. Students work together in classroom settings. English classes are offered at many different levels. The curriculum focuses on helping learners successfully navigate systems of public schools, city, county and state governments, colleges and work culture.
EL Diploma
An EL Diploma program is built into the upper levels of our EL program. Once students achieve a reading level appropriate for studying high school topics, they can join these classes. It is a 40-credit diploma and subjects include English, Math, Science and Social Studies. Students will gain the academic skills to complete a high school diploma, prepare for college or post-secondary training and the world of work.
This program is designed to help learners who have not passed one or more credits needed to graduate. Dual enrollment is an option for any student, who maintains full-time enrollment at their high school. Students must be referred to the Dual Enrollment Program by their high school counselor.
