Eisenhower is fortunate to be an ESL "satellite" school. Students whose neighborhood school does not offer ESL instruction may attend the nearest "satellite" school if they qualify for ESL services.
Eisenhower is a district center school for ESL learners. We are proud of the linguistic diversity of the school and proud of the success our students have in becoming English speakers. Second language learners are assessed for language skill and appropriate program placements are made. Classroom teachers also provide support for second language learners. Our ESL program is taught in English and is not a bilingual program. For more information, contact the school. |
