This is a program that offers special assistance to students whose first language is not English. Initial placements in the program are carried out by District E.S.L. staff. Following district assessment, students are assigned an E.S.L. level. Beginner levels are 1 and 2 while intermediate levels are 3 and 4. In general, the number of E.S.L. support blocks assigned to students is as follows:

Level 1 3 blocks ESL SC, SS, EN Level 3 2 blocks ESL EN, SS

Level 2 3 blocks ESL SC, SS, EN Level 4 1 block ESL EN

Students who have been promoted to level 5 will not attend any E.S.L. support block, but receive support in their E.S.L. consultation block as well as from other teachers in the context of non-E.S.L. classes. Students in E.S.L. levels 1 to 4 will complete their timetable with non-E.S.L. blocks once the number of their E.S.L. blocks has been established. The support students receive in E.S.L. at all levels benefits students by helping them to cultivate the English Language skills necessary for success in other classes. Students are eligible to receive graduation credits of Board Approved courses as follows:

Completion of Level 1: YESL 10 4 credits

Completion of Level 2: YESL 11 4 credits

Completion of Level 3: YESL 12 4 credits
