English as a Second Language (ESL) is offered to students who speak a language other than English at home.  It is designed to help students become English proficient and successful in their regular classes.  Currently at Bedford Heights and Harrison Lane, we have many students from different parts of the world.  Some of these students attend ESL class each day to work in a small group.  We work on strengthening their English language skills using a variety of fun and effective methods.  We also work on vocabulary lists and concepts from all subjects.
