Benvenue Elementary School

English as a Second Language

OBJECTIVE

The English As a Second Language (ESL) Program is a language assistance program for students of limited English proficiency. ESL services are available to any eligible language minority student enrolled in Nash County Public Schools PreK-12.

Our Mission is to meet the special needs of ALL eligible students for whom English is a second language.

Our Vision is to create a nurturing and accepting environment for English Learners (EL's), to provide equal access to school curriculum, and to bridge language and cultural barriers that may exist between the home and the school.

Our Values demand that we ensure timely development of English language skills while simultaneously providing additional support that allows English Learners to progress through school at a rate commensurate with their native, English-proficient peers.
