Currently at Freedom Hill we have approximatley 160 ESOL students, 40 languages spoken and 45 countries represented.

The mission of ESOL Services is to develop the English proficiency of students, enhance their academic achievement, and support school staffs as they deliver quality instruction.

ESOL Services:

• Develops students’ English language proficiency and academic skills;
• Creates supportive learning environments which value and build on students’ academic, linguistic, and cultural backgrounds;
• Builds teachers’ skills to employ best instructional practices;
• Builds connections between ESOL and school wide instructional programs;
• Encourages participation of students and their families within the school community.

One out of every three FCPS students has a home language other than or in addition to English.  These language minority students bring valuable diverse perspectives to classrooms and many are in the enviable position of learning an additional language.  Some of those, ESOL students, need specific support as they learn rigorous academic content simultaneously as they acquire English.  FCPS provides English for Speakers of Other Languages services as an integrated part of classroom instruction for meeting students needs.
