English Language Learner Program Mission Statement
Hyde’s English Language Learner Support program, ELL Support, complements students’ integration into mainstream classes. It is our goal to support acquisition of the English language, while focusing on a variety of topics including grammar, vocabulary, history, and geography. It also incorporates conversation around cultural awareness and sensitivity to help students adapt to our global community. The goal of Hyde’s ELL program is to provide a supportive and tailored learning environment that helps non-native English speakers become proficient in English, allowing them to succeed academically and socially in the United States.
English Language Learner Classes English | Grades 9–12 | Three proficiency levels: Basic, Intermediate, Advanced
The ELL Support program at Hyde is designed to help non-native English speakers develop the language skills necessary for success in academic courses and daily life. The program provides a structured approach to language acquisition, focusing on grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, writing, and practical communication. In addition to language skills, students explore topics such as history, geography, and personal finance, while engaging in discussions that promote cultural awareness and sensitivity. By fostering confidence in both academic and social settings, the program equips students with the tools to navigate and contribute to a global community. To accommodate varying proficiency levels, the program offers three levels — Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced — with placement determined by English proficiency assessments including the TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo, or equivalent evaluations administered at Hyde School.
