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.
