The School District of Lee County

Welcome!

The ESOL program is a collection of services that supports Kindergarten through 12th grade students' English language development and academic achievement in all subject areas. All of the educational programs for ELL students are equal in amount, sequence, and scope to the instruction provided to non ELL students at the same grade level. Instruction is supported through the use of ESOL instructional strategies supported by ESOL trained teachers, bilingual instructional assistants, and curriculum specialists.
