The Greater Essex County District School Board is dedicated to supporting our students and empowering them to reach their educational, language and literacy goals. We offer English as a Second Language (ESL) and English Literacy Development (ELD) programs and resources to help students if English is not their first language.
Language Assessment and Resource Centre
The Language Assessment and Resource Centre offers language assessments and referrals to language training programs free of charge. If you are a new English and/or French adult language learner who requires a language assessment, please complete the Language Assessment Intake Form. You will be contacted by the Language Assessment & Resource Centre staff to confirm eligibility and to book an appointment.
French
We offer an early French Immersion program where our students can learn in both French and English with the goal of mastery of both the English language as well as functional fluency in French.
