Program Goals

The MLL program supports students in developing English proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing while maintaining academic progress. Students transition to mainstream classes as their English skills develop, ensuring they can participate fully in grade-level coursework.

Program Exit Criteria

Students exit MLL services after achieving an overall score of 4.5 on the ACCESS test, with no subtest scores below 4.0. Following exit, students receive monitoring support for two years to ensure continued academic success.

Getting Started

To request MLL services for your child, contact your child's school directly.
