English as a Second Language (ESL)
English Language Learners (ELL)

The BCMS ESL/ELL department teaches beginning, intermediate, and advanced English language learning strategies to students from
all over the globe.  Our goal is to teach our students the language skills and strategies that will prepare them for high school as well as allow them to perform on level with their native English speaking peers.

Congresswoman Betty McCollum visited our level 2 and 3 history classes to explain her role in the
Congresswoman Betty McCollum
House of Representatives.  The students found her interesting and very funny.  She also brought each student a copy of the U.S. Constitution.  Thank You Congresswoman!
