English as a Second Language

Knoxville Schools English language program serves students from diverse cultures and diverse language backgrounds.  The program serves students whose first language or primary language is not English.  We strive to help students become successful in the school setting, while developing proficiency in the English language.  We are invested in the success of all students and provide this through personalized instruction and collaboration with teachers to develop a perfect academic package for all students.
