English Learner Program Overview The English Learner (EL) Program in St. Cloud Area Schools supports students in Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten through twelfth grade in acquiring the English necessary to be academically and linguistically successful in our classrooms and in career and life goals. Our current population includes immigrant, refugee, migrant and native born students who are learning English as a second, or often, as a third or even fourth language. St. Cloud Area School District believes that knowing two or more languages is both valuable and achievable.
“One language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way.” -Frank Smith
