The Multilingual Learning (ML) program serves students 

1)  who have a demonstrated need for ML and/or cultural support and 

2) whose first language is a language other than English, or whose family uses a language other than English in the home.

ML teachers work closely with classroom teachers and families to determine students’ needs, and to provide services to meet those needs. Using a range of instructional practices, students are provided with instruction that builds upon their cultural, linguistic, and academic experiences.

Students from many different language groups receive ML support. Currently, our program supports students from these language backgrounds: Arabic, Bosnian, Chinese, French, Gujarati, Hindi, Kinyarwanda, Korean, Malayalam, Pashto, Portuguese, Spanish, Swahili, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu and Vietnamese.
