English as a Second Language
The English as a Second Language (ESL) program provides a program to support English Language Learners (ELL) in his/her transition to a new culture and school setting. Pine-Richland ESL teachers work with students who do not demonstrate English proficiency in improving their language (English) acquisition skills. ESL and Pennsylvania Academic Standards in Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing are addressed through the program. We use National Geographic's Reach Higher curriculum with students in grades K-12.
