    Special programs of instruction are available for students

    who are English Language Learners (ELL). ELL classes are offered

    in all high schools except where a school has too few students.

    In schools with very small enrollments, students are transported

    to nearby schools with larger student enrollments so that they

    can participate in the ELL program.

    When students enroll in Loudoun County, they are asked

    if English is the language spoken at home. If it is not, an

    English language proficiency test will be administered by

    trained instructors.The test will help determine the classes

    appropriate for the student.

    Each student's placement will be determined on an

    individualized basis. Students will be placed at the

    appropriate level in the classes below.Once academic

    English skills are acquired, the student will proceed to other

    classes listed in the Program of Studies.

    ELL students must meet all graduation requirements in order

    to earn a diploma. In some cases,high school age students who

    arrive with little or no English skills may need more than four

    years to complete the credits and testing needed for graduation

    from high school.
