The English Language Learner (ELL) is designed to assist those International students who may not be proficient in English. All ELL students are required to take the Gateway and other tests required of all students at Hillwood. The students must also meet the course requirements to receive a high school diploma.
Students go to an ELL class for either one or two periods, depending on their individual fluency in English. Students take regular coursework, and the ELL teachers assist the classroom teachers in modifying and assisting these students. Currently, Hillwood's ELL program serves 50 students from over 20 countries.
An exciting program done each year is our International Day. On this day, student display iformation about their native country, and share art, music, and food from the different countries. Student recieve free tickets to these performances, which are repeated throughout the day.
