English as a Second Language Program Guide
The major objective of our English as a Second Language (ESL)
Program is to prepare students to function successfully in
classrooms where English is the medium of instruction for
all subject areas.
ISD offers the perfect opportunity for the establishment
of a sheltered ESL program. Parents send their children to
ISD to obtain an English language education. Their goal is
not to replace their children's native languages, but to add
another one, so that they become bilingual. Many parents are
themselves bilingual or multilingual, and provide native language
instruction for their children either at home or in after
school programs. ISD faculty is experienced in working with
non-native English background students. A number of faculty
and staff are bi- or multi-lingual.
