English Learner Program

Amundsen English Learner Program 

• • We have over 150 English learner/bilingual students, which is approximately 10% of our student body.
  • The majority language of our EL/bilingual students is Spanish. 
  • More than 15 other languages are represented in the program, including Arabic, Tagalog, Russian, Vietnamese, and many more.
  • 20 teachers are ELL or bilingual endorsed spanning almost all departments.
  • We teach the following EL courses: ESL I/II, ESL III, ESL Transitional English I, ESL Transitional English II, and ESL Transitional English III/IV.
  • We monitor all EL students with annual ACCESS testing; students can exit the program when they receive a 4.8 proficiency score.
  • We host bilingual advisory committee (BAC) meetings five times a year to support our bilingual parents and families.
