Park Center's department for English Language Learning (formerly known as English as a Second Language or ESL) is a place for students new to the USA and to English to learn the language and academic skills necessary to succeed in their classes. Students take ELL classes to earn English credit while they take other mainstream classes. Our focus is teaching English along with academic skills, such as taking notes and tests, using the media center and computers.
