Welcome to AKFCS’ English Learner (EL) Program!
Abby Kelley Foster Charter Public School provides specialized instruction to close to 200 identified English learners across the district, which represents over 12% of the district’s total student population.
Abby Kelley’s EL program follows a Sheltered English Immersion model, in which students receive English language development (ELS) instruction by licensed English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher and sheltered content instruction (SCI) by licensed subject-area or grade-level teachers. This program model is designed to support English Learners both in their English language acquisition and their academic learning.
