What is the ELA Program?

The English Language Acquisition (ELA) Program is designed to teach students who speak languages other than English how to understand, speak, read and write in English. The program is also designed to help other students whose language skills are hindering their academic progress because a language other than English is spoken in the home. While students are learning English, they are also learning math, science and social studies.  Teachers in the ELA Program are specifically trained to teach children who are learning English.
