    The Goal of the Bilingual Program: 

    Our Strength Lies in our Differences

    The Elizabeth Public Schools is committed to creating excellence in academics by providing and ensuring equal educational opportunities for English Language Learners through the use of research-based, best practices, and the delivery of instruction that meets the needs of all students. As part of our bilingual program, English language learners learn content in their primary language while developing English language skills and ultimately mastering state standards.  We boost students' performance by providing intensive instruction in the listening, speaking, reading, writing, and comprehension of English as a means of cultivating strong academic language and skills.  We pledge to celebrate and appreciate the linguistic and cultural diversity of our district's population by orienting and involving parents and community members.
