Title 1 and English Learners Office

The English Learner Program provides standards-based English Language Development Instruction and Specially Designed Academic Instruction in English (SDAIE) for students acquiring the English Language.

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.

Parents are welcomed to volunteer on our campus by signing up with the Griffith Parent Center. Additionally, school sites are required to have an English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC).
