Welcome to Integrated English Language Development (iELD)!

Welcome parents and students! We are excited to embark on this learning journey together.

In our program, we use an integrated co-teaching model where language support is brought directly into the student's main classroom. Rather than pulling students out for separate lessons, Ms. Audrey Arends works directly alongside the grade-level teacher. This embedded approach keeps students fully immersed in their daily classroom routines, allowing them to learn grade-level academic content while simultaneously building their English language skills.

In our shared classroom environment, we encourage active participation, risk-taking, and mutual respect. Mistakes are welcomed as a natural and valuable part of language acquisition. 

We view parents as essential partners in this journey! Please reach out whenever you have questions or would like updates on your child's progress.
