English Language Learners (ELL)

Hope Academy of West Michigan's English Learner (EL) Program serves students from Pre-K through 12th grade via the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) Model. Students receive weekly support in writing, reading, content, and language acquisition skills from EL teachers and interventionists, through individual, small group, and whole group sessions. Our EL team works closely with classroom teachers to design tailored lessons for EL students, fostering effective collaboration. Through a combination of in-class support and specialized sessions, we prioritize building trust and relationships crucial for our students' emotional, social, and academic development.
