EL Bridge Program

The EL Bridge program is designed for exiting 8th grade English Learners as they transition to high school, both academically and socially. Earn 0.5 elective credit.  

The main objectives of EL Bridge include:

• Building English language skills in the core content areas with a specific focus in Language Arts through a variety of activities rooted in SIOP;
• Preparing for a successful transition into high school for incoming 9th graders and newcomers, including refugees and students with limited or interrupted formal schooling (SLIFES); and
• Establishing school knowledge (school skills, school resources, communication with teachers, etc.) for EL students to use in order to advocate for their school-based needs.
