English Language Learners

  • English Language Learners (ELL)

    The English Language Learner program at Nantucket Public Schools welcomes immigrant students from seventeen foreign countries. Our ELL students speak eleven different native languages and they bring a rich linguistic and cultural diversity to all three of our schools.

    The goals of our ELL program are to promote the acquisition of English for social and academic purposes; to facilitate assimilation into our American culture; and to support immigrant students as they learn the academic content of our curricula as defined by the Common Core, WIDA and Massachusetts State Standards. 

    Nantucket Public Schools employs nine full-time English language teachers. Combined, our staff speaks eight foreign languages and brings a wealth of experience in language instruction.
