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.
