English Language Learners
At Grover Cleveland High School, our English as a New Language (ENL) program empowers multilingual learners to thrive academically, socially, emotionally, and culturally. We offer engaging, student-centered instruction designed to build English proficiency while honoring each student’s experiences and heritage. Our program includes Standalone ENL classes as well as integrated ELA, math, science, and social studies courses, which ensures students receive targeted language development alongside full access to rigorous academic content.
We also offer Transitional Bilingual Education courses in Spanish. Transitional Bilingual Education (TBE) provides Spanish-speaking students with core instruction (literacy, math, science, social studies), using their home language as a bridge to maintain academic progress while they build English proficiency over time. In addition, with courses such as ENL/Art and ENL/Theatre, our English Language Learners have the opportunity to explore the arts while gaining valuable experience with the English language. Our courses feature project-based learning, small group supports, and inclusive practices, which are woven into every classroom. Our ENL program helps students gain confidence, master academic content, and prepare for college, careers, and life in a diverse, global society.
