Our instructional approaches and techniques help develop our students English language development skills in order to be college and career ready.

The LAUSD Master Plan for English Learners and Standard English Learners takes an assets-based approach towards instruction so that our students languages and cultures are valued, supported, encouraged, and enhanced. Students engage in rigorous academic instruction to challenge and develop their language development.
