English Learner (EL) Services

Mission & Inclusion - Fist Bump
Chaminade Julienne is committed to providing a supportive and inclusive learning environment for all students, including those whose first language is other than English. Our English Learner (EL) services are designed to help these students succeed academically and socially, ensuring they have the tools and support needed to thrive in our community, and to support families in being connected to the CJ community and foster their involvement in their students’ life at CJ.

Our EL program is staffed by two dedicated EL teachers who provide personalized instruction and support. These teachers work closely with students in a designated classroom, offering a space where they can receive individualized attention and guidance throughout their school day. This includes assistance with their workload, language development, and navigating the challenges of learning in a new language.

Key Features of Our EL Services:

  • Personalized Instruction: EL teachers tailor their instruction to meet the unique needs of each student, focusing on language acquisition, comprehension, and academic skills.
  • Dedicated Classroom: A designated EL classroom provides a welcoming environment where students can receive additional support and resources.
  • Integrated Support: EL services are integrated into the broader academic and social fabric of CJ, promoting inclusion and a sense of belonging.
  • Collaboration with Teachers: EL teachers collaborate with other faculty members to ensure that EL students receive consistent and coordinated support across all subjects.
  • Family Engagement: We believe that family involvement is crucial to student success. Our EL program encourages communication and collaboration with families to support students’ learning and well-being.

Benefits of Our EL Services:

  • Improved Language Skills: Students receive targeted support to develop their English language proficiency, including speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills.
  • Academic Success: By addressing language barriers, our EL program helps students achieve their academic potential and succeed in their coursework.
  • Social Integration: EL services foster a sense of community and belonging, helping students build relationships and feel more connected to the CJ family
  • Confidence and Independence: With the support of our EL teachers, students gain the confidence and skills needed to navigate their school day and participate fully in the CJ experience.

Chaminade Julienne is dedicated to celebrating the diversity of our student body and providing the resources and support necessary for every student to succeed. Our EL services program is a vital part of this commitment, ensuring that all students have the opportunity to excel and grow in a nurturing and inclusive environment.
