Following the guidelines from the Pennsylvania Department of Education, the State College Area School District provides an appropriate program of English as a Second Language (ESL) to all students who are limited in their English proficiency. This program is designed to address the learning needs of the student as determined through an evaluative process. The program is highly individualized; however, each student will be enrolled in at least one ESL class, depending on the results of English language placement tests, a personal interview, the student's experiential background and length of time in the US.
