The Opportunity:

The English as a Second Language (ESL) program at Mastery Schools is built on the belief that native language skills transfer to secondary language learning. Based on this, students are taught social & instructional language in tandem with academic language of Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies throughout each stage of English proficiency. As ESL teachers work with our English Language Learners (ELLs), to build language capacity, students gain greater and greater levels of access into the curriculum and bridge their prior learning and experiences into the English-instructed classroom and school environment.
Mastery values the language and cultural diversity that English Language Learners bring into our schools and strives to incorporate the literature and historical perspective of our multilingual students into the curriculum, school, and classroom culture.
