ESL Curriculum

The Quarry Lane International Academy offers an English as a Second Language (ESL) program to provide students with a solid foundation in English writing, speaking and literature. Upon acceptance to the International Academy, students are assessed for their English proficiency. They are placed in beginner, intermediate or advanced level English courses. Students at the intermediate level take intensive instruction in English for half of the school day and regular academic subjects the rest of the day. Advanced students are permitted to enroll in a full load of regular courses.

Students are instructed in English vocabulary and grammar, writing, reading, comprehension and speaking skills. The small class sizes allow opportunities for oral presentations, lively discussion and team projects to enhance speaking and listening practice.
