Language stands at the centre of the many interdependent cognitive, affective, and social factors that shape learning.
David Corson
Students who are not native or fluent English speakers receive ESL lessons to support their English language development, which includes support for both social and academic language and literacy skills. This enables these students to learn the language at the same time as learning through the language to access the curriculum and achieve their academic potential.
Continuing to develop the mother tongue or first language proficiency is a vital part of this process supported by the school.
